A method of texturizing at ambient temperature a mass consisting essentially of fungal mycelia and moisture, said mass having reduced turgor and a solids content of from about 20% to 40% by weight, comprising solely the steps of (A) rolling the mass between two mutually moving surfaces to form an elongate cylinder, (B) juxtaposing at least two sections of the cylinder to form a tiered mass, and (C) successively repeating steps (A) and (B) and finishing with step (A) to obtain a meat-like or fish-like textured structure.
