The project sees mycelium used for the various food items that put the [fungal proteins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naplasol-promyc-mycoprotein-line) in the spotlight, which can be produced with less water, space and resources than other leading plant-based protein sources commonly used. The ingredients also feature a complete nutritional profile to give them an even stronger edge over the competition. Ausolan commented on the Eroski and Ausolan Delifungus project saying, "After a year of collaborative research and development, the Delifungus project has been successfully completed. We have seen how this innovative ingredient can be incorporated into everyday food, and have gained valuable learnings about its behavior during preparation and consumer acceptance.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 35% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vegan Fungi Protein Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-fungi-protein.md) - [Fungi-Powered Plant-Based Meat Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minced-fungi-protein.md) - [APAC-Focused Protein Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinokotech.md) - [Fungi-Sourced Sweeteners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mycotechnlogy-sweet-protein.md) - [Nutrient-Dense Fungi Protein Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fungi-protein.md) - [Mushroom-Derived Hybrid Meats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mush-foods.md) - [Fungi-Based Meat Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smaqo-products.md) - [Fungi-Based Cream Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fungi-vegan-cream-cheeses.md) - [Fungi-Based Yogurts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fungi-based-yogurt.md)
