Edible compositions including fungal mycelium protein

This invention describes a meat substitute made from fungal mycelium, which are the root-like structures of fungi. Fungal cells are grown in a sugary liquid, then separated from the liquid and concentrated into a fibrous mass that is formed into a food product. The process specifically requires the fungal cells to consume nearly all the sugars in their growth medium.

Why it matters: The specific requirement for fungal cells to consume substantially all sugars in the growth medium presents a significant technical challenge for scalable and cost-effective production, a hurdle that has not fundamentally changed since the patent was filed in 2023.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedBioreactors, separation, food processing, microbiology expertise
