Eden Grow Systems found a new subsidiary, MyCo, created to commercialize mushroom-growing technology licensed from Purdue University's Office of Technology Commercialization.
The technology creates a controlled environment for growing mushrooms, allowing precision nutrient delivery and customizable substrates. This helps to increase yields, decrease maturation time, and decrease production costs. Unlike standard processes that suffer from uneven nutrient distribution, disposable and wasteful substrates, and a lack of predictability in yields, Mycoponics offers an environmentally friendly, consistent, low-cost, and repeatable method of growing mushrooms for consumption and production inputs.
Edible mushrooms are an important source of nutrients and are also used in products such as cosmetics and supplements. Mushrooms are increasingly being investigated as a source for vegan leather products and biodegradable consumer packaging. Mycoponics uniquely allows mushrooms to be grown to any 3D shape, making everything from custom vegan leather gloves to biodegradable to-go containers possible, for pennies on the dollar compared to current solutions. Mushrooms also have natural radiation resistance, and this new technology may enable new methods of radiation shielding on spacecraft or custom-grown spacesuits for astronauts.
