MycoBuoys® creates biocompatible, mycelium-based buoys.
We believe it is our responsibility to steward marine resources for future generations by reducing the bioaccumulation of toxic plastics in oceans and inland waterways
Sue Van Hook’s fifty-year love affair with fungi as a mycologist took her from careers in conservation and academia to mushroom start-up companies. She led the team as founding mycologist for the world’s leading mushroom composite materials company.
While there she observed that mycelium grown in liquid culture without agitation formed a thin skin atop the surface. In addition, she watched small droplets of water roll around the surface of the skin without losing their shape. Her experiments revealed properties of buoyancy and repellency being exhibited by the mycelium.
MycoBuoys is her latest start-up.
