Mushroom Leather - The Future of Fashion

Leather comes from animal skin, most commonly from cattle. This means we need to raise and slaughter A LOT of animals to fulfill the demand. So how can we find or create something that mimics the qualities of leather that both designers and consumers adore? 🐮🐮🐮

►Our favorite mushroom field guides:
If you are looking for wild mushrooms, you need an excellent mushroom identification field guide. My favorite is the Audubon Field Guide to Mushrooms. It's out of print and expensive, but we consider it indispensable to help us identify mushrooms. You can usually find a used copy on Amazon for $50 or less. Here's the link:
amzn.to/3r9wjgJ -- Audubon National Society Field Guide to Mushrooms
Falcon Guides puts out a newer (and cheaper) mushroom field guide that is also very good.
amzn.to/3vCasBQ -- Falconguides, North American Mushrooms, a Field Guide
►Our favorite mushroom cookbooks:
amzn.to/3s3TIBn -- The mushroom cookbook, by Michael Hyams and Liz O'Keefe
amzn.to/3d4a9rd -- Wild Mushrooms: A Cookbook and Foraging Guide, by Kristen and Trent Blizzard

►Important Disclaimer
Never eat any mushroom that you find outdoors without first consulting an expert. Information on the internet is a good start, but the consequences of eating the wrong mushroom can be severe.
We recommend the North American Mycological Association (NAMA) for those who would like to learn how to forage for mushrooms. NAMA has chapters across North America that offer classes and guided mushroom hikes. Learn more at their website: www.namyco.org

@@MushroomSite Thank you for acknowledging my comment.
It will be very interesting to see IF and WHEN, larger companies will take the proverbial plunge into this new idea.
I'll be watching and spreading the word I learned here 🙂
