Protoplast fusion technology helps create new mushroom varieties by combining cells from different fungi, even if they usually can’t mix. Although it’s only been successful with a few types of mushrooms so far, this method shows great promise for developing better strains and making it easier to grow mushrooms that are typically hard to cultivate.
