We took inspiration from nature’s best recyclers—mycelia (the root-like networks of fungi) and bioengineered molecules—and combined them to create a highly selective, scalable, and eco-friendly filtration technology.

Think of it as nature’s own high-tech filter—only letting the right elements in and kicking out unwanted pollutants.

Process Overview

  • Step 1

    Contaminated Water Meets Mycelia-Powered Filtration

    🔹 Imagine industrial wastewater, mining runoff, or battery recycling fluids flowing into our system.
    🔹 Suspended in this liquid are valuable metals, rare earth elements (REEs), and some not-so-great contaminants.

  • Step 2

    The Bioengineered Binding Agents Get to Work

    🔹 Our custom-designed binding elements (tiny, hyper-selective molecules) are functionalized onto a mycelia-based substrate.
    🔹 These binding elements act like molecular Velcro, grabbing onto specific elements and trapping them for recovery.

  • Step 3

    Valuable Recovery & Clean Water

    🔹 The purified water flows out, leaving behind the captured elements.
    🔹 The trapped materials can then be reused, recycled, or reintegrated into supply chains—a win-win for industry and sustainability!

Why Mycelia?

Because Mushrooms are incredible!

Hyper-Absorbent

A natural knack for filtering and absorbing nutrients from their surroundings (we just gave them a science upgrade).

Combined with our targeted bio-molecules, they are Highly Selective, targeting specific materials while leaving everything else untouched.

Sustainable & Biodegradable

Mycelia-based materials break down naturally when they’ve done their job.

No harsh chemical, just smart biology at work.

Customizable

Engineered to support different biofunctionalized structures, making it adaptable for multiple industries.

Designed to be integrated seamlessly into small-scale and large-scale industrial systems.
