It is very encouraging to see all these new developments. The Koji sounds similar to quorn. It will be interesting to see the research in some depth. I know the issue with some plant based proteins is that they are not complete for a humans needs. This is generally not an issue however as the mix of proteins that are often eaten together, will equal a complete source. EG Rice with lentils would be fine.
I only wanted to clarify that plant based protein can be complete for humans needs https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-protein-combining-myth/
