Rhizocore Technologies

is thrilled to announce a significant step forward in our mission to harness the power of fungi for environmental solutions.

Backed by a prestigious £1 million grant from Defra's Farming Innovation Programme, we are developing a groundbreaking new product line: innovative water filters utilising locally-sourced fungi to effectively capture and neutralise pollutants from agricultural activities.

The Farming Futures project

Conducted in collaboration with leading research and conservation organisations – the James Hutton Institute, Harper Adams University, and Cheshire Wildlife Trust – marks a pivotal moment in our business development. We are translating cutting-edge research into practical, scalable solutions to address the critical challenge of agricultural water pollution.

Our Nature-Based Innovation: Fungi Bio-Filters

Rhizocore is leveraging the remarkable natural capabilities of native saprotrophic fungi. These fungi thrive in nutrient-rich environments and possess the inherent ability to absorb and store pollutants.

Our innovative approach involves developing modular filtration units filled with carefully selected fungal species. These units will be strategically placed on farms to intercept pollutants before they can reach rivers and streams, offering a low-cost, nature-based solution to a significant environmental problem.

Meet the Team

We’ve put together a team with expertise across fungi, soil health, and land restoration to lead this mycoremediation project and ensure it delivers measurable, science-backed outcomes.
