Abstract
Methods for producing a mycelium-based food are disclosed herein. An aerial mycelium may be cultivated and processed into one or more aerial mycelium segments. The aerial mycelium segments may be placed in a vacuum tumbler and processed into the mycelium-based food. In some embodiments, processing may involve boiling the aerial mycelium segments, flavoring the aerial mycelium segments, and drying the aerial mycelium segments all within the vacuum tumbler.
