The Textile Research Institute (TTRI) developed the Mushroom Leather Cultivation System, which received the 2024 R&D 100 Award for its innovation. This system utilizes a non-woven soy protein growing bed, allowing mushroom leather to grow both on the surface and within the bed, unlike traditional cotton beds that limit growth to the surface. This advancement promotes efficient rolled growth.

A key feature is the circulating conveyor belt that ensures a consistent nutrient supply through precise air spraying, preventing nutritional gaps found in other soaking methods.

TTRI's roll-to-roll growth system can produce up to 5-6 square meters of mushroom leather, significantly more than the 0.05-0.25 square meters yielded by plate-based methods. It also enhances nutrient-to-mycelium conversion efficiency to 25%, compared to the typical 10-20% in the market. This efficient, space-saving system boosts productivity and sustainability, positioning TTRI's Mushroom Leather as a leading eco-friendly alternative in the leather industry.
