MyBacon is now sizzling in 1,200 stores—with thousands more coming soon, maybe even your favorite fast-food spot. Fresh funding just landed @ecovative to boost production, distribution, and innovation. It’s a tough market, but superior taste and quality always win.

MyBacon is now availible nation wide. Grown with Organic Mycelium in the Hudson valley and just 4 simple ingredients. Its yum! Check out @myforestfoods for a store finder.

15 years ago we started growing packaging with mycelium @ecovative and 4 years ago we launched a new platform- AirMycelium.
Today our farms produce 15,000 lbs/week of food and fashion materials.
Here's a few things I've learned about scaling biology:

It's Monday. Time to put the FUN in fungi🍄
@thisischristina speaks with @ebenbayer about scaling his mycelium company.
How does he, after over a decade of running @ecovative, think about the tension between scale & growth, capitalism & sustainability?

Proud to visit @ecovative in Green Island today, a shining example of our Capital Region’s spirit of innovation for a sustainable future. This local company is using mushroom mycelium to create eco-friendly alternatives to products like plastics, leather, and even meat!

Great meeting today of the national security commission on emerging biotech !🇺🇸
Thanks to @ebenbayer and @ecovative for mushroom-packaging lined case (so soft!!) and mushroom leather handled gavel!! 🍄And to @Biomason for the bioconcrete block to hit! 🦠 worked perfect !😄🙌🙌🙌
Synthetic biology is a critical technology like AI and the US is well positioned to lead globally — just gotta keep it rolling ! 🌱🧬

So much technology starts with the crudest possible processes: digging and burning fossils. Intriguing to think of a computer starting with a shovel, fire, and really old, dead biomass. Also puts into perspective what a profound shift the emerging age of biotechnology represents.
Replying to @EdConwaySky
THIS is the material reality of how we make advanced technology (same process is how we make silicon substrates in solar panels).
And we’re still yet to work out a way to do this at scale without using coal or emitting carbon.
Computers/solar panels are a fossil fuel product!

.@ecovative and @myforestfoods are on a mission to bring biology to scale, which means bringing their delicious plant-based bacon to a thousand stores in the coming year. 🥓Their farm-grown mycelium gives MyBacon a remarkable taste and texture:

In order to improve Germany’s inner city waterways, an incredible team is using GIY material for Green Water: mycelium-based floating biotopes. These floating ecosystems will help restore urban water areas by offering protection or habitat for animals and plants in urban areas.
