Mycelium grown from mushroom spawn and substrate materials is non-toxic, ecologically sustainable and biodegradable.

The applications for mycelium are broad and it is currently used within the fashion, furniture, packaging industries to name a few. Fox is exploring possibilities of the material as part of her experimental sculptural practice.
