Edible mushrooms provide both food and fuel

Mushrooms such as oyster, shiitake, and king oyster are currently growing in a mushroom robot lab at SLU in Umeå. The beauty of this cultivation method is that it yields both food and biofuel. Thanks to funding from EIP-Agri, researchers—in collaboration with the company Biosteam—are able to demonstrate that mushroom cultivation can be further streamlined, making the process both cheaper and faster.
