Filamentous fungi produce enzymes, nanomaterials, and electrical signals that could underpin a new generation of biosensors capable of detecting pollutants, glucose, and pathogens. Mycelium networks generate structured electrical impulses that researchers are beginning to harness for unconventional computing and wearable sensing devices. A comprehensive review published in Biosensors  maps five years of progress across molecular, material, and ecosystem scales, identifying bo

The Estonian mushroom extract supplier MUSHEEZ® has published what may be the most comprehensive sensory and formulation dataset yet produced for EU-aligned food manufacturers working with functional mushroom ingredients. Independent testing by a certified Estonian food science laboratory found that each of the six extracts tested carries a distinct flavour character, ranging from the intensely bitter reishi to the mild, caramel-adjacent lion's mane, with real consequences

This practical guide to evaluating functional mushroom suppliers, understanding quality markers, and navigating the evolving longevity-driven ingredient market, has been created in partnership with KÄÄPÄ Biotech . Over the past few years, the supplement buyer conversation has fundamentally changed. What was once driven by trends, formats, and shelf velocity is now driven by science, traceability, and proof. Now the questions are different. Buyers want to understand the scienc

MycoTechnology has achieved self-affirmed GRAS status for Zukora, its fermentation-derived sweet protein, clearing the way for commercial sales in the United States.

Researchers have discovered that fungi's ability to transform from harmless yeast into deadly filaments depends on a metabolic circuit linking sugar breakdown to sulphur amino acid production
