mycolabadmin
This study shows how a natural fermentation process using beneficial bacteria can transform lion’s mane mushroom waste into a healthier food ingredient. The fermentation makes the mushrooms safer by eliminating spoilage organisms, increases their antioxidant power by up to 31%, and prevents the buildup of potentially harmful compounds. This approach offers a sustainable solution for mushroom producers to reduce waste while creating valuable functional food ingredients.
