A method of growing fungal mycelium and forming edible food products includes growing fungal cells in a growth media such that the fungal cells produce mycelium. The growth media includes a sugar, a nitrogen-containing compound, and a phosphate-containing compound. The mycelium is separated from the growth media. The mycelium is concentrated to obtain a fibrous mycelium mass having a protein content of greater than 40 wt % of a dry mass of the mycelium. Food additives can be added to the fibrous mycelium mass to produce a biomass. The biomass can be formed into an edible food product. The biomass can be formed into an edible meat substitute product.

The present invention includes a process for producing a protein product from plants and yeasts. The process comprises the steps of: a) providing a thin stillage or a thin stillage concentrate; b) separating a protein concentrate from the provided thin stillage from a) by means of solid-liquid separation; c) diluting the protein concentrate from b) with an aqueous process liquid to a dry substance content of at most 15 wt. %, tempering the diluted protein concentrate to a temperature of at least 60? C., and adjusting the pH of the diluted and tempered protein concentrate to an alkaline pH; d) cooling the processed protein concentrate from c) and subsequently separating a liquid phase by means of solid-liquid separation; e) adjusting the pH of the separated liquid phase from d) to an acidic pH, and then separating a solid phase by solid-liquid separation; and f) dispersing the solid phase from e) in a solvent and subsequently separating a product phase by solid-liquid separation, wherein the product phase comprises or includes the protein product from plants and yeasts. The present invention also discloses a corresponding protein product from plants and yeasts with a crude protein content of at least 70 wt. % DS.
