Thank you for sharing the knowledge. I appreciate your kindness and help.

[@tropicalgalaxy1503]

What an amazing research project and video. The world is a better place with this knowledge available , THANKYOU

[@LaraColor-g4p]

I'd love to learn more about the growing process of the mycelium in the petri dish. Thank you for your research!

[@GaryDaBussy]

You put mycelium in an agar plate, and you're done...

[@karendafini1895]

Thank you for the amazing video!

[@hradynarski]

Wow incredible, keep up with great work and innovations!

[@shivanisaklani64]

Amazing.Thanks for sharing this.

[@kiuxie1]

Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this information!!! It would be great if you can make a video on how to make cactus leather at home

[@hydrangeadragon]

Really wanna try making this

[@advika_jain]

Hi! Your project is wonderful. I am working on a similar project and would appreciate if you could explain the process of preparing the mycelium.

[@artembochkalo5815]

Cool, thanks for sharing! Wish you the projects develop easily!

[@greenbeard807]

Incredible! It would be a good idea to make a video on how to make leather from mycelium

[@colemanroberts6827]

Hey this is so freaking cool. Thanks for sharing this!

[@jessicag630]

Amazing. With a large shallow glass disk, you can harvest a larger piece of mushroom faux leather that you can heatpress to texture, dye and stitch. What type of mushroom is used?

[@sustratiotes7]

Awesome stuff ❤

Thank you very much 💚🥇

WOW Amazing

[@silvijaalberte8244]

Thanks for sharing! Could you, please, advise where to get that reishi mycelium from?

[@cocopanel9470]

very informative and truly beautiful! thsnk you so much for your sharings. 🌸 can i ask you if the process would still work without an incubator or it is a must ? thank youu so much 🌝

[@EingetragenerVereint-eV]

That's how the results of publicly funded research should be - publicly available. Thank you.

[@koltoncrane3099]

It’s freaking crazy. As an American I can read for free college research on mushroom in South Korea and even China but I can’t read for free American college research on mushrooms. Some are free but many are behind a paywall charging $40 a paper which is so dumb considering professors get a salary from the government and paid to publish but then the majority of people can’t afford what their tax dollars fund to be published.

[@Philtur82]

Congratulations for the project and thanks for sharing. May I ask, what is the brand/model of your heat press machine? Thank you again!

[@wjbdwjbd-nt8pn]

how to coat and dye the mushroom leather?

[@sujayvolvoikar9992]

WHERE I WILL GET THAT REISHI MUSHROOM SAMPLE GROWN ON AGAR PLEASE YOU PLEASE TELL MEE WHEREE IT IS AVAILABLE

[@crispyfelix2628]

I'm doing this as a project and made my own agar and bought a syringe of reishi spores from north spore for 20$! That might be an option for you. The agar was not hard to make, sterilization is the hardest part to do at home.

[@hanopt]

Thank you for making the video. I am interested in chemistry/mushrooms/biology. I have some questions: why is regular water not okay, why do we need distilled water? what would be the alternative to reishi mycellium and what else can we use? Do we prefer wood or hummus growing mushrooms? Micropore Filter is 100% neccesary? Will the mycellium stop growing if there is to much Co2 in the jar? How probably is contamination? You transfered the agar piece into the jar without a glovebox for example and exposed it to all the spores/bacteria in the air...

[@ameliao618]

How long do you think this material would take to decompose?

[@RS-pn9wu]

I appreciate the video, thank you for releasing this information for free. but 4 layers of micropore is an overkill i think. In my experience i have always used 1 layer without contamination.

[@aos_studio]

I should try it next times! Thanks !

[@anastasiakuiuzhuklu2429]

Hello!! I'm doing my graduation project at the university and I need the advice of a person who has experience in growing mycelium leather. Could you answer a couple of my questions, please? I will be very grateful.

[@sheeneegamee339]

​@@anastasiakuiuzhuklu2429 got any help?

[@shahdmagdi876]

Do you think it’s strong enough to use it in a furniture piece ?

[@saschalopes6247]

Love this video, must have watched it at least 10 times. May I ask, what is the brand/model of your incubator? I'm building a low-tech mycology lab at home and all of my searches for incubators lead me to pricey high-tech results. Thank you

[@aos_studio]

Thank you very much, these kinds of comment mean a lot to me! It is a reptile eggs incubator, that must have costed like 125€ on VEVOR, but you can find it for cheaper if you buy it second hand!

[@zophie5554]

@@aos_studio Hi there! Thanks for this awesome video! It forms the basis of my upcoming PhD research on mycelium. Really grateful for it. I have a question: Did you not control the humidity in the incubator? Is it not necessary?

[@aos_studio]

@@zophie5554 Hello ! Yes the humidity has to be controlled for better results. But here the medium is liquid and in a jar so I did not think it was relevant to mention it. May I ask where you are doing your PhD? I am looking for a PhD myself in this field and am looking for universities and labs working on it. Is it a design PhD or a science PhD?

[@zophie5554]

@@aos_studio Thanks for your reply! Makes totally sense. I am doing my PhD at ETH Zurich in Switzerland and it's a science PhD. It's incredibly fast growing field I would say! But my position is a little special. There is nobody else working on mycelium in my institute. That's why I watching youtube videos to learn how to do stuff. :)

[@alip6001]

@@zophie5554 Hey, same with me.. pretty new on this mycelium technology. I just completed my PhD under this topics. very interesting and it is new product invention technology.

[@NOUSERT]

How much pressure was applied to the biomaterial in the hot press?

[@negzmushroom9328]

In this video what kind of mushroom did you use?

[@eyenowa8320]

Beautiful ! Thanks for sharing :) what would you recommend for a larger surface leather piece?

[@aos_studio]

Exactly the same with a larger container than a jar. But be careful of the sterile conditions!

[@willnunns3560]

If I wanted to do this say on a 3x scale, would I just triple the recipe? Would I need a larger incubator or can it fold during incubation?

[@mahirlabib2223]

how much it can cost

[@remoconan8720]

that looks like a scoby! i wonder if you could use them instead! old scobies could be used for this purpose if you dehydrate them. they only need water and sugar and tea to grow. for those that do not know scoby is used as the mother for making kombucha. make a refreshing drink and look fashionable.

[@phil4573]

great video, which strain of mycelium did you use?

[@octoplasma2]

she labled it Reishi at the beginning

[@phil4573]

@@octoplasma2 Thanks, I missed that.

[@cramstick]

Is that an uncrustable ?
