Magical Mushroom Company

Magical Mushroom Company® is a UK-based manufacturer of biomaterials, established in 2019.

The company specializes in producing Mushroom® Packaging, a home-compostable alternative to expanded polystyrene (EPS) and molded fiber. This innovative packaging is created by growing mycelium around agricultural by-products such as hemp, cork, and sawdust, resulting in strong and natural biological composites. The company operates a dual business model, serving both large enterprises and smaller businesses. It offers custom-designed packaging solutions for industrial-scale clients and has an e-commerce portal that provides ready-to-purchase packaging products for start-ups and mid-sized businesses. Additionally, Magical Mushroom Company® engages in special projects for the fashion and design sectors and provides materials for applications like acoustic panels and horticulture. With a mission to replace polystyrene with sustainable materials, the company aims to become Europe’s largest sustainable packaging provider. Its production facility is located in Beeston, Nottinghamshire, supported by an R&D center in Addlestone, Surrey.
