Working in the intersection of biotechnology, design and nature involves a lot of research and development. Our mission is to create new biomaterials by combining mycelium (the root structure of mushrooms) and local biobased waste, to grow a better alternative to traditional materials with high environmental impact.

We are continually updating the library of different types of fungi and waste so we can offer a variety of different materials dependent on use and preferred aesthetics.

Mycelium sculpture delivered to the innovation studio Æra Strategic Innovation

Æra started the «Floke» initiative in 2015 after recognising the need for a collaborative and structured way of working on solutions to some of the biggest challenges the world is facing today.

Æra use the plus symbol in the communication of their Floke projects and wanted a sculpture that could display their vision in a tangible way. The sculpture is made of mycelium and wood chives, produced locally and circularly using only waste material. ➕➕

Meet our latest addition, Sondre Eng. He is an educated biologist and mycologist, and now also partner in Mycela.

Sondre is passionate about everything fungi, and will be a much needed addition to the extensive research and development work into the mycelium technology. We are very glad to have him on the team!

Mycela x Nikolai Kaasa mycelium art collaboration

Nikolai Kaasa’s artwork is inspired by the symbiotic relationship human beings have with the earth or the lack thereof: “We are a part of it, and it is a part of us. By separating ourselves from the natural world we lose touch with a fundamental aspect of ourselves. I see it as important for our physical and psychological well being that we recognize that we are nature itself, and that everything is interconnected.”

The mycelium canvases are painted with biodegradable paint with pigments from coal, inherited chalk from his grandfather, and yellow ochre found on a mountain near Volda in Norway. The two square pieces are inspired by macro images of mycelial growth. The larger, circular piece is inspired by tribal art and contour lines symbolising the earth and the magical mystery of existence. There was a crack in the canvas which has been repaired, inspired by Kintsugi – The old Japanese tradition of mending broken ceramics with gold. The symbolism is as relevant today as it was centuries ago, reminding us that ‘the broken can be fixed‘ and to embrace our imperfections.
