David Šohaj Minařík, Myco

David Šohaj Minařík studied painting at the Royal Academy in Copenhagen, but walks with his wife in the forest led him to an interest in wood-rotting fungi. His artistic instinct to create something with his hands eventually merged with his mycological fascination, and a company was founded that replaces single-use packaging plastics with 100% natural materials made from mushroom mycelium and organic waste. The initial experiments in the bathroom have now become a growing company that has attracted interest from investors, and David is a sociable promoter of the beauty and business potential of mushrooms. He has received awards from prestigious startup and environmental competitions, regularly participates in podcasts, and lectures at events dedicated to innovation.
