Mycelium is referred to by Ecovative as a “super ingredient” due to its high fiber and protein content, which is similar to that of a slice of bacon. It can be grown at a competitive price of $1 per pound. According to Ecovative, the greatest potential of mycelium lies in its ability to mimic whole cuts of meat. This is in contrast to most other plant-based meats, which are typically offered in minced patty or sausage form.
