Edible mycelium bioengineered for enhanced nutritional value and sensory appeal using a modular synthetic biology toolkit - Nature Communications

Fungi have the potential to produce sustainable foods for a growing population, but current products are based on a small number of strains with inherent limitations. Here, the authors develop genetic tools for an edible fungus and engineer its nutritional value and sensory appeal for alternative meat applications.

      I'm not quite seeing the point for these products since delicious fresh mushrooms can be grown at home from substrate that mostly doesn't use human food as components. When I retire I might pick up growing food mushrooms as a useful hobby, along with a conventional food forest/kitchen garden.
