What was it all about?

Running from 2021 to 2022, this short investment explored the use of mushrooms in plant-based food product innovation and informed the industry of new market opportunities and their potential viability in the Australian context.

This project yielded the following key outputs:

  • A mushroom product compendium of over 180 products across 13 categories
  • Three deep explorations (case studies) of novel mushroom-based food innovation activities
  • Key insights and considerations from each case study
  • Three novel food product concepts using Agaricus bisporus.
