Abstract
A method of creating an extract of myceliated agricultural product for human consumption includes providing an agricultural substrate such as rice, where the agricultural substrate has been inoculated by liquid media comprising an aliquot of culture derived from liquid-state fermentation. The culture being selected from the group consisting of Basidiomycota and Ascomycota fungi. Next, the step of enabling mycelium growth on the substrate by controlling temperature, humidity and sterility of the environment. After mycelium growth on the substrate reaches a desired stage, then the step of boiling the substrate in water and separating the water-substrate mixture into aqueous component and non-aqueous components creates an extraction.
Claims11
A method for myceliating coffee beans, comprising:
- sterilizing the coffee beans under pressure;
- providing a submerged fungal liquid tissue culture grown in a media consisting of a fruit-based and vegetable-based liquid-state media in the absence of an additional nitrogen source;
- inoculating the sterilized coffee beans with the submerged fungal liquid tissue culture;
- and
- enabling the fungal culture to incubate the fungal mycelium on the coffee beans to prepare the myceliated coffee beans, wherein the myceliated coffee beans are capable of being used to prepare a palatable coffee beverage for human consumption.
