“Mushrooms become source for Eco-Building”, “Eben Bayer grew up on a
  farm in Vermont learning the intricacies of mushroom harvesting with his
  father. Now the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute graduate is using that
  experience to create an organic insulation made from mushrooms. “
  “Combining his agricultural knowledge with colleague Gavin McIntyre's
  interest in sustainable technology, the two created their patented
  "Greensulate" formula, an organic, fire-retardant board…”, “The two say
  recent tests using a Hot Disk Thermal Constants Analyzer have 
  shown it to be competitive with most insulation brands on the market. A
  1-inch-thick sample of the perlite-mushroom composite had a 2.9 R-value,
  the measure of a substance's ability to resist heat flow.”      Read

  “What it is: A method for bonding insulating materials using the
  mycelia, or roots, of mushrooms. The technique results in a product
  that is biodegradable and can be produced using less energy than
  need for other types of insulation, and without petroleum or
  chlorofluorocarbons.”       Read

  “Newspaper and denim used to be the coolest sounding insulation options.
  But now Eben Bayer, son of a Vermont maple syrup farmer, and his college
  classmate Gavin McIntyre have created insulation from oyster
  mushrooms…”       Read

  Ecovative Design and Greensulate will be featured in an episode of Green
  Road Trip airing this spring on the Discovery Channel.

  Ecovative Design appeared on CNN in September in part of a program
  called "Open House."

  Ecovative Design appeared on a full-length show of the “lazy
  environmentalist” that aired in July on Sirius Satellite Radio.
