Food-industry side streams are underused, while alternative proteins need affordable and scalable substrates and production methods.
R&D Focus
Mycelium, solid-state fermentation and industrial-side-stream valorization.
Innovative Solution
Converts industrial side streams into food-grade substrates, cultivates mycelium through solid-state fermentation and develops methods to preserve the resulting raw material.

About
Biohifas employs the power of mycelium and valorizes industrial side streams into the food. We are developing technology in 3 areas: – Side stream processing into food grade substrates. – Mycelium cultivation in solid state fermentation. – Raw material conservation. We are looking for curious minds, who are amazed by the great kingdom of fungi. Let’s employ the power of mycelium and solve the problems that our world faces!
