Nutrient Content of Morel Mushroom Mycelium: Amino Acid Composition of the Protein

摘要

SUMMARYMycelia of three species of morel mushrooms, Morchella crassipes, M. esculenta, and M. hortensis, were grown in submerged culture in a glucose‐ammonium phosphate‐corn steep liquor medium. The dried mycelia were subjected to proximate analyses and amino acid determinations. A commercial morel mushroom powder was also analyzed for the same constituents. The dry samples contained 22.8–51.0 protein and 2.18–7.55 fat, depending upon the species. Amino aeid contents were similar to those reported in the literature for othe
