How a Singapore Factory Is Growing Leather from Mushroom Roots
Lucas and Luna visit a Singapore-based biotech company that is growing animal-free leather from mushroom mycelium. They break down the fermentation process, the cost challenge of scaling to compete with cowhide at $5 per square foot, and why luxury brands like Gucci are testing samples. Plus: the surprising environmental math — 99% less water and no tanning chemicals — versus a cattle industry responsible for 14.5% of global emissions. A concrete look at how cellular agriculture is moving beyond burgers into materials science.
