PURPOSE:To obtain modified wheat bran bread, containing much free amino acids and fibrous materials and having good water absorbing property and flavor, by inoculating mycelia of mushrooms into a hydrated wheat bran and growing the mycelia. CONSTITUTION:The moisture content of bran, e.g. wheat bran, barley bran, corn bran, etc., is adjusted to about 30-60%, preferably 40-50% and mycelia of mushrooms, e.g. SHIITAKE mushroom, Flammulina velutipes Sing., Pleurotus ostreatus Quel., etc., are inoculated into the bran and kept at a given temperature for growing the mycelia for a given period to give bran containing the grown bran, which is, as necessary, sterilized with steam or further dried.
