our work
the challenge
+ the protein gap is real + so is the climate limit
Global protein demand is rising faster than we can supply it within planetary boundaries. Conventional animal protein drives a huge share of food-system emissions, land use and water stress. Plant-based alternatives help, but they often struggle on taste, nutrition, price and scalability. There’s a clear gap for protein that is delicious, low-carbon and ready to scale today.
our solution
+ from side dish to centre-of-plate protein
mushroom+ is a deep-tech platform that boosts the protein content and performance of mushrooms. By enhancing protein yield and nutritional density per kg of biomass, we can turn existing mushroom farms into climate-positive protein hubs, without rebuilding the entire food system from scratch
core benefits
+ simple, low-carbon protein
+ high-protein mushrooms
Increased protein per kg and complete protein profile that contains all amino acids that we cannot make or obtain from plants
+ low-carbon by design
Dramatically lower CO₂e per kg protein vs. meat and many plant proteins, using proprietary tech.
+ no new supply chain
Works with existing mushroom infrastructure, substrates and distribution.
+ simple formats
Whole, sliced or minimally processed formats that slot into familiar meals.
for growers
+ more value from every kg you grow
We help mushroom growers and producers unlock higher-value, protein-rich products using the facilities and skills they already have.
+ upgrade, don’t rebuild
Apply mushroom+ strains to existing farms and substrate streams.
+ better economics
Higher protein density create new premium categories and contracts.
+ partner, not vendor
We co-develop technical pilots, support validation, and help you reach retailers and food brands.
for brands and retailers
+ climate-smart protein your customers will actually eat
We supply high-protein mushrooms and co-develop products that meet the needs of flexitarian consumers, retailers and food service with credible, audited climate impact.
+ you get
Whole or minimally processed mushrooms with elevated proteinFormats for meals, ready-to-cook, ready-to-eat and components
+ we bring
Supply via upgraded grower networksCo-development pilots and white-label optionsImpact and lifecycle data for ESG and Scope 3 reporting
+ in addition
Stable, predictable quality
Controlled mushroom cultivation delivers consistent nutrition, reducing exposure to quality degradation and supply-side volatility seen in global meat and commodity systems.
the impact
+ built to be net-positive from day one
mushroom+ is engineered to deliver measurable climate and resource benefits not just “less bad,” but genuinely net-positive impact as we scale.
+ lower emissions per protein unit
60–90% lower CO₂e vs. beef and significant reductions vs. many plant-based proteins, based on lifecycle assessments.
+ less land & water
Over 90% less arable land than animal farming, with efficient water recirculation.
+ behavioral leverage
Designed for flexitarians: small shifts away from meat at mass scale generate outsized climate gains.We use functional-unit and consequential LCA to quantify avoided emissions and will publish audited impact data as we progress.
