GROWING THE FUTURE

AT MONTERR, WE CULTIVATE LIVING SYSTEMS — FUNGI & MYCELIUM — TO CREATE SUSTAINABLE BIOMATERIALS, COMPOSTABLE PACKAGING, AND FUNCTIONAL MUSHROOM MEDICINE.

FUNGI

FUNGI

We are a design and research laboratory based in Mexico City, operating at the intersection of science, art, and sustainability.
Our mission: integrate living systems, fungi and biomaterials into design and medicine to cultivate a future where technology, ecology, and regenerative materials coexist in harmony.

Why Mycelium?

  • Strong & Lightweight

  • 100% Compostable & Biodegradable

  • Regenerative Alternative to Plastics

Mycelial networks are nature’s most resilient and complex systems — lightweight, durable, and fully biodegradable.

At Monterr, we harness this living architecture to design sustainable, circular packaging and biomaterials that outperform conventional plastics.

100% biodegradable

Mycelium-based materials are strong, lightweight, and fully compostable, offering a regenerative and intelligent alternative to plastic and styrofoam packaging in a world urgently seeking sustainable materials.

  • Compostable mycelium packaging developed by Monterr Pack, eco-friendly alternative to styrofoam in Mexico.

    MONTERR PACK

    Eco packaging solutions that replace traditional plastics and styrofoam.
    Lightweight, compostable, and entirely grown — not built.

    DISCOVER PACK
  • Designer floor lamp by Monterr Studio with a solid mycelium base and a translucent mycelium leather rectangular lampshade, emitting a warm golden light against a beige background.

    MONTERR STUDIO

    From interiors to installations, we apply mycelium-based biomaterials in architecture and objects that blur the line between biology and design.

    Explore Studio
  • Set of six brown glass dropper bottles of mushroom extracts: tinctures, arranged vertically in a mycelium packaging tray. The tray and its cover, also made of mycelium, display the Monterr branding.

    MONTERR MEDICINE

    We cultivate functional mushrooms like Reishi and Lion’s Mane to produce bioactive compounds that support natural healing. Bridging biotechnology and wellness, our research embraces fungi as allies in regenerative health.

    DISCOVER MEDICINALS

Healers by nature

Medicinal mushrooms produce bioactive compounds that interact with the body in intelligent ways, supporting natural healing through mechanisms our systems can recognize and respond to.
