MycoTechnology is an ingredient company that leverages mushroom fermentation to discover transformative plant-based ingredients. Today, we are finding ways to use the power of mushrooms to make food healthier and more enjoyable. Tomorrow, the wonders of nature will reveal more secrets to us, empowering us to develop smarter ways to make healthy foods more sustainably. Starting with biology’s building blocks we are creating a new technology that helps to evolve our food systems. At MycoTechnology, mushroom mycelia is used in a process called “liquid culture” or “submerged fermentation”.

Instead of allowing mycelium to ferment solid material, we instead “train” our mushrooms to digest a liquid substrate. We work to solve our customers' greatest challenges: sugar reduction, sustainable protein, nutrition, and food waste. Starting with three main products; FermentIQ™, a shiitake fermented pea and rice protein, ClearIQ™, a natural flavor modulator, and EvolveIQ™, mycelia adaptogens.

Responsible Energy & Greenhouse Gas Reduction

• • Continuous sterilization unit used for heat recovery, which allows for higher efficiency and improved product quality.

  • A spray dryer uses a large, glass tube heat exchanger to recover heat from the exhaust air to preheat the inlet air.

  • A multiple effect evaporator that collects hot vapor from the first stage of evaporation and uses the vapor to heat the second heat stage.

  • Variable frequency drives, installed on most motors, are optimized to reduce the amps drawn by the motor for the most energy savings.

  • A dust collective system collects and allows reclaim of fugitive dust from raw materials and final product.

  • A boiler heat recovery, an economizer on the boiler, uses waste heat to preheat the feed water.

  • Cleaning in place for chemical and water usage have been optimized to reduce usage and energy consumption.

  • LED lighting.

  • HVAC regulated and controlled facility temperature.

Waste Minimization & Diversion

• Total facility recycling. As of 2021, we are recycling 20% of in house waste, by 2023 we are aiming to be recycling 50% of in house waste.

Corporate Social Responsibility

• MycoTechnology's vision is to harness the power of mushrooms to uplift lives around the world. Through that vision MycoTechnology has made a CSR commitment to the wellbeing of the population, the planet, the communities we touch and our employees.

• Development of the sustainability committee, this program both 1) educates and informs our employees about green choices that they can make at work and at home, and 2) allows employees to make a difference in our company's sustainability initiatives and investments.
