What are the advantages of fungal leather compared to traditional leather?

Pers / media: !!Public Engagement Activities

Description

Can fungi really replace animal leather? Researcher Razieh (VUB) thinks so. Her work focuses on creating durable, leather-like materials from mycelium — the thread-like structure of fungi — without using synthetic additives. Made entirely from agricultural waste and reinforced with biodegradable fibres, she is looking to create a soft, durable, 100% bio-based material that offers a cleaner, animal-free alternative to traditional leather.
