Magical Mushroom Company®

A Defining Moment for Magical Mushroom Company® We are entering a pivotal new chapter at MMC®. This month, we begin transitioning from our trusted Esher and Attenborough facilities to the latest state-of-the-art Beeston factory, redefining sustainable, industrial-scale packaging, which we can replicate in other locations. After five years of operations, Esher (Mushroom 1), our pilot facility with a capacity of 1.5M parts annually, has been decommissioned and will officially close this December. Our Attenborough factory (Mushroom 2), which could produce 2.1M parts per year, will conclude operations in mid-January. Taking their place is Beeston, a world-class factory that begins production in January. This factory is unique in that it will produce raw materials and manufacture the packaging from these raw materials in the same facility, and by July 2025, it will reach a staggering 15 million parts annually, a six-fold increase in capacity. Alongside Beeston, our Sofia factory in Bulgaria, Mushroom 3 - which has a similar capacity, is rapidly scaling up, with utilisation growing fast as we meet increasing demand for sustainable packaging solutions. We also have a new R&D and prototyping facility in Addlestone, Surrey, to add to the estate. Redefining Sustainability Beeston and Sofia exemplify our mission to eliminate polystyrene by offering scalable, sustainable, and cost-effective alternatives. Combining in-house raw material production and cutting-edge manufacturing, these facilities deliver Mushroom® Packaging at a price comparable to polystyrene. Thanks to the Team and Our Customers None of this would have been possible without the dedication of our investors, leadership team, directors and the entire MMC team, past and present. We are also immensely grateful to our regular customers, including Ffern BA Kitchens, Raymarine, Flex, WineDirect USA, Renais Gin | B Corp™ Ice Cream Union, ICAX Ltd, Mermaid ~ Isle of Wight Distillery, Wildsmith Skin, Institut Esthederm and many others, for trusting us to deliver sustainable solutions.

We’re excited to partner with Sheldrake and Sheldrake Hot Sauce to deliver a packaging solution as bold as their living, fermented flavours. Thanks to Mushroom® Packaging, their incredible hot sauce bottles are now protected by fully compostable, plastic-free materials – eco-friendly goodness at its best. The Sheldrake founders – Cosmo, Jono, and Merlin – are true pioneers in flavour and sustainability. Merlin Sheldrake the renowned mycologist, author of Entangled Life, and a leading voice in fungal ecology, brings unmatched expertise and passion for the natural world to this collaboration. Together, we’re harnessing nature’s brilliance to create a more sustainable future, blending innovation with environmental consciousness. By choosing Mushroom® Packaging, Sheldrake and Sheldrake Hot Sauce, launching today as the first hot sauce to do so, helps customers reduce their carbon footprint with packaging that’s compostable at home and kind to the planet. Other solutions, such as paper pulp, can cause deforestation, high water and energy use, and chemical pollution if not sustainably sourced (WWF). Together, we can create packaging that truly protects the planet and eliminates the need for harmful materials like polystyrene. We’re also thrilled to announce that Merlin will be visiting us soon, and we can’t wait to share more details about this exciting collaboration and our future plans. Stay tuned – together, we’re growing something better! 🍄🤎 #SustainablePackaging #PlasticFree #Compostable #ZeroWaste #MushroomPackaging #EcoInnovation #MerlinSheldrake #WorldWildlifeFund #MagicalMushroomCompany

We’re excited to announce that Magical Mushroom Company® has teamed up with DARE (LVMH’s global intrapreneurship program) and Stella McCartney to create custom-grown display plinths and iPad holder’s made from our Mushroom® Packaging for the Fungi Forms exhibition at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. These plinths will beautifully display Stella McCartney’s mycelium bags, highlighting the growing role of mycelium in sustainable luxury. Our packaging and materials are crafted from binding mycelium and responsibly sourced hemp, not only offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional materials but also actively reduces carbon emissions. Hemp is a natural CO2 sequester, absorbing biogenic carbon and supporting the natural carbon cycle from growth through to disposal. This collaboration showcases how sustainability and luxury can go hand in hand. Join us in celebrating this innovative step towards a greener future by visiting the Fungi Forms exhibition in Edinburgh. . #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #MushroomPackaging #StellaMcCartney #DAREProgram #Mycelium #GreenInnovation #LuxuryFashion #FungiForms #RoyalBotanicGardenEdinburgh #EcoFriendly #CarbonNeutral
