摘要： A method of dehydrating and rehydrating mycelium includes growing fungal cells in a growth media such that the fungal cells produce a mycelium mass having a protein content of greater than 40 wt % of a dry mass of the mycelium mass. The method includes separating the mycelium mass from the growth media, compacting the mycelium mass, and dehydrating the compacted mycelium mass to produce a dehydrated mycelium mass having a moisture content in a range of 5 wt % to 60 wt % and a first hardness in a range of 0.007 kgf/mm2 to 0.018 kgf/mm2. The method includes rehydrating the dehydrated mycelium mass to form a rehydrated mycelium mass having a moisture content of greater than 60 wt % and a second hardness in a range of 0.00035 kgf/mm2 to 0.007 kgf/mm2.
