This invention describes a method for processing fungal material. It involves taking solid fungal biomass, pressing it through a filter to extract a liquid, and then separating that liquid. The process can also include boiling this liquid to increase its thickness. The claims specifically focus on this liquid extraction and thickening, not on the initial growth of the fungi or the reactor mentioned in the abstract.
Why it matters: Given the short time since filing (2023), fundamental changes in the basic physical processes of pressing, filtering, and boiling fungal biomass are unlikely. The primary challenges of efficiently producing the initial fungal biomass and developing palatable food applications for the extract remain outside the scope of these specific claims.
