The MycoFilter®
Nature's solution to human pollution
Why MycoFarming
The planet's water crisis is a treatment crisis
Water treatment facilities and industrial operators are facing a rapidly growing challenge: pollutants that existing systems were never designed to remove. Emerging contaminants such as PFAS, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, hydrocarbons, and industrial chemicals are accumulating faster than current treatment technologies can handle.
- Persistent pollutants
- High energy consumption
- Secondary sludge
Cleaning persistent water pollution with fungal biology
Built for government and industry.
MycoFarming uses fungal biology to break down persistent water pollutants: naturally, scalably and at a lower cost.
Remediates pollution
Low footprint
Highly scalable
