May God bless, Dwight Being who you are; are you not supposed to embrace what God provides to us like natural Mycelium? You sound a bit confused #Dwight Quote

Hi #Chuck123wapati Yep, I get your comment above, but if you had the opportunity to work with a piece of mycelium leather, would you? Wouldn't you like to compare both animal leather and mycelium leather and test their strengths and weaknesses? Hopefully the beginning of 2024, I will have the opportunity to try to develop mycelium leather. That is why I started this Topic to get some sort of reaction from this great community. I also hope to resolve some of our climates problems by reducing farmers bio-gas waist and turning it into substrate. I hope this will reduce or stop them from burning it as well as cleaning up our environment. Don't worry, i'm no echo worrier, but I do want to experiment with this alternative method to produce this material. Full respect for you Chuck, your a really interesting person and have looked through your recent posts. :-) Quote

Ah; #Gezzer Does a banana, apple, orange, trees, flowers and just about everything on the planet have a 'skin'/leather; as you call it? including fish. So can't you make leather out of fish skin? So when you say the above statement; any 'skin' are both leather regardless of what 'skin' they are made of. Quote

No, absolutely not. But then I do not use nylon or polyester threads or put acrylic finishes or aints on leather. Nor do I use a sewing machine. Oddly, my life is not diminished because of that. And yes, There is fish leather. Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?

I think you have gotten some interesting feed back but probably not what you were expecting lol. Myself i have no interest in testing this new product but I wish you all the luck in your endeavors and hope you do succeed. It may have the ability to replace some leather products adequately but not all of them. I'm sure there would be a market for it someplace if you find the right products to produce with it and of course the right niche to fill in the market. Just realize the world has plenty of fake leather products but most aren't sold in high end stores or as a better replacement product to the equivalent leather item. As most folks here I value my time and when I build my handmade products I want to use the materials ( real leather) that will sell for more I mean why waste your time making subpar. Farmers should not have waste if they do then that waste needs to be tilled under and called organic fertilizer as it used to be used and called. That's what happens to mine. Last day of elk hunting , beautiful black and white day no noise at all just cold crisp air. Good luck my friend!!!!!

Not according to Webster . leather 1 of 2 noun leath·er ˈle-t͟hər : animal skin dressed for use I don't doubt it might be the greatest thing since sliced bread but it as NOT leather ! Have a nice life . Quote

I had to remake some "leather" belts that were marketed and sold by a large Oz company as ' vegan leather' , needless to say they fell apart , and the majority of the material was synthetic . The customer wanted me to reuse the twin prong buckles . I remade them with actual leather . Customer was happy . There is a company in the lower south of West Oz that specialises in fish skin leather, damn fine products too , long lasting and durable . I also have some fish skin leather in my collection of 'stuff'. I've always had a saying , if it breeds and bleeds you can turn it into leather 13 hours ago, chuck123wapati said: Last day of elk hunting , beautiful black and white day no noise at all just cold crisp air.

I actually might use it - IF it is NOT called anything leather! (Incidentally, in parts of the world it would be illegal to call the stuff leather.) There's a good use for most materials, natural or man-made, but I hate attempted fraud. Nothing against deep-fried veggies in batter - everything against vegan chicken nuggets (if that exists). I've seen bags made out of cork sheets. No idea about their characteristics, but I might be willing to buy one if I needed one and liked the design. As long as the material is not called oak leather... Another thing: Which biogas waste? Where I live, farmers build biogas plants to catch the volatile parts of muck and sell or use it. Which sounds perfect - up to the point where they decide to skip the cow and throw the "fodder" directly into the fermenter because it's a lot less work. So what exactly are you planning to work on? Pure curiosity... Quote
