Are mushrooms the new plastics?

June 2011- On the latest Innovation Trail report for New York NOW, we met a pair of entrepreneurs who are using mushrooms to transform the way people think about waste.

Their company is called Ecovative. They use mushroom roots to create a substitute for plastic packaging.
