We are MycoMine

We are a Swedish start-up creating sustainable systems based on the concept of MycoMining – extraction, precipitation and decomposition of elements, metals and chemical compounds using fungi. We use fungi to decompose hydrocarbons, which are converted into non-toxic biomass – a totally natural and environmentally friendly end-product. We also develop biological systems for remediation and mining of metals and Rare Earth Elements.
