Moving Past Plants to Meaty Mycelium
Time: 9:15 am
day: Day One
Details:
- While technologies such as extrusion make it possible for plant proteins to resemble animal proteins, the process is expensive
- Fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants on the evolutionary tree
- Mycelium of certain fungi species has a naturally meaty texture that can be used as a meat replacement or enhancer with very little processing
