Mycelium as a microcarrier for cultivated cells: Study

Microcarriers made from fungi root prove promising in a proof-of-concept study.

Researchers from University of California, Davis, report that mycelium from a specific species of mushroom — Aspergillus oryzae — provides the best structure for culturing meat from cells.

By testing a variety of mycelium strains, the researchers, who published their work in NPJ Science of Food, determined that cultivated…
