About this listen
In this episode, we sit down with Professor Han Wösten, a pioneer in fungal biology with over three decades of experience. Based at Utrecht University, Han leads cutting-edge research into fungal growth and development, including projects exploring mycelium-based leather and sustainable materials.
We explore his journey into applied science — from mycoremediation and biodegradable coatings to functional foods and novel biomaterials. Han reflects on the bridge between science and entrepreneurship, the value of artist–scientist collaboration, and what it takes to bring fungi-based innovations to life.
If you're curious about the future of sustainable materials — and how fungi might help clean our water, feed the planet, and shape new industries — this one's for you.
