HYPHAEN applies our know-how and growing process knowledge to refine mycelium growing techniques and improve materials at the cellular level. 

HYPHAEN reimagines a traditional tanning process for mycelium-only materials to improve mechanical properties. Its range of processes transforms raw mycelium against levers such as performance, hand-feel and longevity. HYPHAEN applies this transformation knowledge to determine how a mycelium product can be adapted to meet the rigorous materials standards of application and industry.

To meet the scale demands of market commercialization, HYPHAEN can provide EU-based technical support to brands, manufacturers and tanneries looking to color, finish and ship high-performing mycelium materials to clients and partners.

Highly tunable, mycelium materials can come in endless variations. Mycelium players have struggled to deliver more than a single flagship product at scale and suitable for multiple industries. HYPHAEN’s strategy is to segment and match finished mycelium products to specific clients and industries looking for that criteria.
