Description
Niklas Berglund, Pauliina Lankinen, and Kirsi Mikkonen wrote a 2026 review on toxins in fungi grown for food. New methods can grow the thread-like body of mushrooms, called mycelium, as a novel food. Such products still lack approval in many markets, so their safety needs close study.
The review asks where fungal toxins sit inside the fungus, in the threads or in the caps we eat. It centers on Pleurotus species, the group used most in mycelium foods. Past studies hint that threads may hold less toxin than fruiting bodies. The authors gather all work on food-relevant toxins of this fungus family. Their findings feed into safety checks in the European Union and beyond.
