Mushroom Packaging

Here at SH not only are we passionate about growing and distributing our mushrooms to various eateries around the Los Angeles area, we also love researching and gaining knowledge about the mushroom industry.

EcoCradle is a fascinating product developed by Gavin McIntyre and Eben Bayer that is made from agricultural crop waste bonded together with mushroom 'roots' (called mycelium). This product is totally renewable, home compostable and an environmentally responsible replacement for foam packaging. Pretty rad concept indeed, looking forward to seeing these guys take this to the next level (Ford motor company/auto parts?) and possibly dabbling in a future experiment here at SH. Stay posted.
