A lab at Stanford is working on a project to upcycle food waste using fungi. The process involves fermentation, similar to how yeast is used to turn grapes into wine.

The goal of this fermentation is to change the flavor, texture, and appearance of leftover food waste. This transformation allows the waste to be repurposed into a new edible dish.

Further details about this project are available from the source, including the specific methods and outcomes of the fermentation process.
