DECORATION POLAN + honorable mention from Tabanda
Mycopot is a pot made from reishi mycelium, designed to replace plastic pots typically used for planting or purchasing plants.
Plants can be transplanted into fresh soil along with the production pot. In the final stage of manufacturing, the pot undergoes heat treatment, rendering the mycelium inactive so it does not interfere with soil processes.
With each watering, the mycelium gradually decomposes, enriching and aerating the soil, which makes it easier for roots to absorb water and nutrients from the ground.
