About
Welcome to Mycelium Work LLC.
Mycelium Work was founded by Justin Puppe as an exploration into biological materials and the fascinating world of fungi. What began as a passion for mushrooms quickly expanded into a deeper interest in how natural materials interact with their environments and influence complex systems.
From the humble button mushroom to more advanced species like lion’s mane, early work focused on cultivation, material structure, and the unique properties of mycelium. This hands-on exploration helped uncover how biological systems can be harnessed, shaped, and applied beyond traditional uses.
Over time, this curiosity evolved into a broader questions around environmental systems, water treatment, material behavior, and real-world applications. This progression led to the development of Hydrolysphere, a platform focused on next-generation water treatment systems and PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) management.
At Hydrolysphere, the focus extends beyond simply removing contaminants from water. The work centers on understanding how contaminants move through systems and what happens after initial treatment — including downstream handling, environmental impact, and long-term liability.
Rather than treating contamination as a single-step problem, this approach views it as a full lifecycle challenge within water systems and environmental infrastructure.
Mycelium Work represents the foundation of this journey — from biological materials to system-level solutions in water treatment, PFAS management, and environmental engineering.

About the Founder
Founder | Hydrolysphere — PFAS & Water Systems
My name is Justin Puppe, founder of Hydrolysphere, and my work began with a deep interest in biological materials and how they interact with environmental systems.
What started through hands-on experience cultivating mushrooms quickly evolved into a broader focus on how natural materials behave, adapt, and influence complex systems. This led me to explore how material systems can be designed and applied to real-world challenges.
Over time, that exploration expanded into environmental systems and water treatment — specifically how contaminants move through systems and what happens beyond initial removal.
This progression led to the development of Hydrolysphere, focused on next-generation PFAS water treatment systems and contaminant lifecycle management.
My background in biological materials continues to shape how I approach system design today — with a focus on performance, scalability, and real-world application.
