Fungal pigments, made scaleable.
We develop fermentation of fungal
pigments with remarkable applications.
Our first focus is blue.
Xylindein: A blue fungal pigment that absorbs light, moves electrical charge and resists UV. Perfect for new energy materials.
UV-stable
Optoelectrical
Bio-based
A blue pigment with a solar future.
We make organic thin film solar panels last significantly longer using xylindein.
Solar panels where flexibility matters.
From fungus to functional material.
Five connected steps take a natural pigment from discovery to a product-ready application.
Discover
Find a natural pigment with favorable properties.
Decode
Map the genes and solve the pathway for how the pigment is made naturally.
Engineer
Optimize and recreate the pathway in our patentable fast-growing yeast.
Scale
Grow the strain in large fermenters, recover pigment.
Apply
Work with experts in the industry to apply the pigment effectively.
Meet the team.
We are a hands-on team taking MycoDye from research to real-world application, committed to making fungal pigments a practical choice.
