With the Mushroom Leather

MycoWorks and General Motors introduces the Cadillac SOLLEI, the first car to feature mycelium leather in its interior. MycoWorks’ Fine Mycelium™, a sustainable, leather-like material made from mushroom roots, is used in the charging mats and door pockets. As the auto industry seeks greener alternatives, I hope this partnership sets the stage for even more mycelium-based designs.
