MYX

Mycelium based organic structures

Initiated in 2012 - The Mycelium textile project : MYX - started as a research into the properties of living materials. By combining natural elements, organic materials and plant based structures Jonas Edvard explores how a mycelium based composite structure and combinations hereof are usable in applied design experiments. Through a period of 2 weeks the growth of the mycelium has conquered the organic plant material and stabilized the raw substrate materials, which enables the mushroom organism - the mycelium - to cover the whole structure in a fluffy skin, which can be modified into a hard or flexible structure. since starting this journey a lot of opportunities and challenges has been taken and will continue to unfold.
