This invention describes a way to grow mushroom mycelium on coffee beans. The process starts by sterilizing the coffee beans, then introducing them to a liquid culture of specific fungi, such as shiitake, oyster, or morel mushrooms. The method also includes an optional final sterilization of the myceliated beans.
Why it matters: Since 2020, advancements in microbial biotransformation and enzyme engineering may offer more efficient ways to modify coffee bean characteristics, such as alkaloid content, as suggested by the patent's classification.
