From the forest. For the Future.
About us
When it comes to solving our world’s biggest problems, the answers can often be found in nature. The forest is a great place to begin. A lot goes on—between the dirt and the squirrels, and the mosses and the trees—but, what interests us most is what’s happening just beneath the forest floor, where lies a hidden, entangled root system of fungi called mycelium.
We’ve studied and become inspired by mycelium. We’ve learned there’s a lot you can do with it—from textiles to building materials to packaging alternatives, even to food! Really tasty food. Guided by the wisdom of the woods, MyForest Foods is harvesting this new approach to meatless food—one that can sustain AND satisfy all types of eaters. Our mycelium is grown—not ground, so it actually feels like you’re biting into a whole cut of meat.
Our flagship product, MyBacon is the first of many plant-based, clean-label, mycelium-grown eats we have planned.
Mycelium—MyBacon’s star ingredient—is a complete protein with a naturally high nutritional profile, and it’s what gives MyBacon its amazing texture. Our chefs brine each strip using a special recipe with minimal ingredients: flaked salt, cane sugar, natural flavors and beet juice for color. Add a little coconut oil for the perfect sizzle, and you’re looking at a seriously meat-like bacon alternative, so reminiscent of the traditional bacon-y flavors and textures you love.
Now that we’ve figured out how to create a sustainable supply of eats, it’s our aim to pass the plate around the planet, honoring mycelium’s potential to feed the future, one delicious bite at a time.

Wonder how we grow MyBacon? 🍄🥓 At MyForest Foods, we’re farmers of the future, growing MyBacon in a forest-like environment—but indoors in vertical farms! 🌲☁️ Our organic oyster mushroom mycelium thrives with dew, mist, and gentle breezes. This magical process weaves mycelium into a meaty texture that’s chef’s kiss MyBacon perfection. Once harvested, MyBacon slices soak in a brine and get topped off with a touch of coconut oil for that perfect crispy bite. Cook it up, toss it on salads, or snack straight from the pan (we won’t judge). It's bacon reimagined—without the meat.

🍄🥓🧳 ECOVATIVE RAISES $28M TO PROPEL MYBACON GROWTH & LAUNCH ECO-LEATHER To advance its food and fashion innovations, US mycelium startup Ecovative - the mycelium technology company has closed a $28M financing round featuring strategic investors and existing shareholders. The company behind brands like MyFOREST Foods , Forager, Mushroom® Packaging and Grow.bio, Ecovative has now raised $145M since 2019. It now plans to expand the production and distribution of MyBacon, and introduce an alt-leather material for jackets and accessories under the Forager brand. “The capital will be used to expand MyBacon from 600 to thousands of stores through 2025, providing the necessary working capital to support that growth,” Ecovative founder and CEO Eben Bayer told Green Queen. “We’ll also be launching Forager products with our customers, while onboarding new capacity to scale through 2026 and 2027.” Founded in 2007, Ecovative uses a proprietary AirMycelium technology to grow different strains of mushrooms for a variety of use cases. These are produced on an industrial scale in vertical farms, allowing it to grow three million sq ft of material annually on one acre of land. The latest investment comes amid growing VC interest in fermentation and mycelium. Alternative protein startups saw funding dip by 44% last year, but while plant-based companies have struggled to recover, and cultivated meat startups are on track to secure a similar amount of capital, in the first half of this year, fermentation players have already obtained 90% of the money they did in all of 2023.
