MycoBuoys® creates biocompatible, mushroom-based buoys to support cages, traps and lines used in fish, shellfish and seaweed aquaculture. We believe it is our responsibility to steward marine resources for future generations by reducing the bioaccumulation of toxic plastics in oceans and inland waterways.

MycoBuoys® are grown from mushroom mycelium and plant byproducts as a natural alternative buoy to reduce environmental impacts from the manufacture, use and degradation of plastic buoys.

The MycoBuoy Project in Maine, using a myceliation process licensed by Ecovative in a collaboration between Smithereen Farm in Pembroke and North Spore in Portland, will produce 400 mushroom buoys for 8 oyster farmers to field test during the 2023 season.
