Background

A fungal organism is usually divided into two parts: the mycelium and the fruiting body. The mushroom itself is the fruiting body, while the mycelium is a large fibrous structure found underground from where the fruiting body grows. MyShroom provides nutritious, inexpensive, versatile and easy-to-use mycelium ingredient for the food industry. MyShroom is produced by vertical farming, using fermentation of industrial side-streams as growth media, to enable low production costs, higher yields and a clean label ingredient. Because the MyShroom flavor and texture can be tailored by selecting the mycelium strain and growth medium combinations, it provides a tastier and more diversified alternative to current plant‑based options. MyShroom adds value in the food chain in a sustainable manner, by
