Mycoworks

MycoWorks is a San Francisco Bay Area biotechnology and advanced-materials company founded in 2013 by artist Philip Ross and Sophia Wang, headquartered in Emeryville, California. It engineers premium leather-alternative biomaterials from mycelium using its patented Fine Mycelium process, sold under the Reishi brand to luxury fashion, automotive, and design partners. The company was backed by DCVC and other investors; it entered insolvency and was wound down through an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors in late 2025. MycoWorks operates as a physical-materials manufacturer and publishes no public developer API, OpenAPI definition, SDK, or developer portal, so this API Evangelist profile carries company identity only.

Mycoworks is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Biotechnology, Materials Science, Biomaterials, and Sustainability.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/mycoworks: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
