The Bacon in Your Next BLT Could Be Made From Mushrooms Grown in Giant Indoor Vertical Farms

Mushroom farming is being revolutionized through a new partnership between Ecovative and Limbraco International BV. This collaboration aims to scale mycelium products by introducing state-of-the-art equipment for AirMycelium crops, which can seamlessly integrate into existing mushroom farms. With the goal of transforming the agricultural sector towards more environmentally friendly practices, this partnership showcases the potential for mycelium to replace animal products such as meat and leather.

Founded by entrepreneur Eben Bayer, Ecovative's subsidiary company, MyForest Foods, is focused on producing sustainable vegan alternatives using mycelium. Their flagship product, MyBacon, has quickly gained popularity due to its clean ingredients, full flavor, and nutritional profile. By targeting bacon as a leverage point in the food industry, MyForest Foods aims to make a positive impact by providing consumers with a plant-based option that rivals traditional meat products.
