So tempeh is soybeans or lentils fermented in tempeh starter. The soybeans or lentils get embedded in mycelium grown from tempeh starter. But is it possible to just get a whole mushroom meat slab with just all mycelium? Or does tempeh starter really need soybeans or lentils to grow?

I think that what you can do is still have some sort of beans there (food for the mushroom) but let it overgrow to the point where you have a top part that is clean and you can cut it off.

Curious what the nutricional value of just the micelium is.
