The market for functional mushrooms continues to expand rapidly, with increasing demand for ingredients such as lion’s mane, reishi and cordyceps in supplements, foods and beverages. 

To support this growth, US-based ingredient supplier M2 Ingredients has opened a new Center of Innovation dedicated to developing mushroom-based consumer products.

The facility brings together expertise in cultivation, extraction and formulation, helping brands overcome challenges such as flavour integration, solubility and product stability. By bridging the gap between mushroom cultivation and food technology, the center aims to accelerate the development of new functional mushroom products.
