Topic:  Innovations Shaping Our Plates: A Moment For Functional Fungi 

​Fungi play a crucial role in our food system, offering nutrition, sustainability, and innovation. While we often enjoy them as edible mushrooms, their potential goes far beyond that. Beneath the surface, fungi form an extensive mycelium network that breaks down organic matter and enhances nutrient availability. This remarkable property is now being harnessed in food technology, where mycelium is increasingly used to create meat alternatives, offering a sustainable and protein-rich option for the future.
