Summary
Mushlabs is a biotech company that produces meat replacement from mushroom roots called mycelium. We have developed our proprietary fermentation technology to create mushroom biomass: a meat replacement ingredient revolutionizing plant-based alternative proteins. Our mission is to change the way people eat by producing tastier, healthier and more sustainable foods. We take pieces of (mycelium) and cultivate them in a controlled and optimal environment. These serve as the “seed” for the mushroom biomass we harvest. We feed the mycelium with side streams of agro-and food industries. In large bioreactors, the mushroom mycelial cells ferment the side streams and multiply. This biological process accumulates biomass rich in protein, dietary fiber and micronutrients with a savoury flavour, which serves as the main raw ingredient for all of our products. With very few ingredients and little food processing we create delicious, healthy and sustainable everyday foods that replaces meat.
