Myco-foods and the gut microbiome: impacts of mycelial extracts, biomass, and mold-fermented foods

-glucans and chitin are likely key determinants of gut microbiome responses to dietary mycelium, future studies should investigate how these and other potentially bioactive components of mycelia and fungal metabolites are metabolized by intestinal microorganisms. Such studies will result in an improved understanding of how myco-foods could support human health.
