This research optimized how to grow oyster mushroom mycelium in laboratory conditions to produce high-protein food ingredients. The scientists tested different nutrient sources, sugar types, and pH levels to find the best growing conditions. They discovered that adding urea and using amaranth flour as a base nearly doubled the protein content, making oyster mushroom mycelium a promising sustainable alternative to animal proteins.
