Production of coloured fungal mycelium

This invention describes a method for growing edible fungal mycelium, which is the root-like structure of mushrooms, to produce a biomass that has a consistent and stable color. The colored fungal material is intended for use as an ingredient in food products, specifically to impart a particular color. The claims narrow the invention to using specific edible fungal strains, such as those from the Peziomycetes or Agaricomycetes groups.

Why it matters: The claims focus on producing naturally colored edible fungi for food. Since 2023, advancements in precision fermentation and bioreactor technology have made controlled, scalable production of fungal biomass and natural pigments more efficient.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedFungal cultivation equipment, sterile environment, biological expertise.
