Mycelium Innovations: The Many Uses of Mushrooms

From compostable packaging and alternative textiles to regenerative agriculture and biotechnology, mycelium is emerging as a powerful natural solution across industries.

Join us for a dynamic conversation exploring how people are working with fungi to design more circular systems, reduce waste, and reimagine materials. This is a chance to hear from those who’ve been experimenting, building, and pivoting within the mycelium space — and learn from their experiences, challenges, and breakthroughs.

Meet the Speakers

• Flynn Williams (Fourth Spore)
  Focused on soil health and bio-remediation, Flynn is building scalable systems that use fungi to restore ecosystems and enhance agricultural resilience.

• Anh Van (La Foundary)
  Blending environmental activism with material design, Anh is exploring how mycelium can replace plastics and foams with elegant, low-impact alternatives.
  

• Sid Sharma (Mushee)
  Siddhant brings reflections from Mushee’s journey into — and beyond — mycelium packaging. He’ll share insights into what worked, what didn’t, and why they shifted direction.

Whether you’re curious about biomaterials, circular design, or where fungi fits into the future of sustainability — this session offers an honest look at the possibilities, challenges, and real-world experiments shaping this space.
