This morning, most investors are going to be looking into those companies that may have come into the news cycle on Monday, and one of the companies that could end up gaining traction is Hypha Labs Inc. (OTC:DIGP).
The company, a pioneering organization in functional mushroom sciences, hit a major new milestone in mycological innovation through the launch of a path-breaking patent portfolio. The company made an initial filing of the portfolio with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) in March this year. The patent portfolio involved a large number of inventive methods as well as devices meant for changing the way in which active components, including psilocybin, could be extracted from mycelium.
The company noted in the news release that the active components that could be extracted include medicinal, psychedelic, and functional ingredients. The market for psychedelic and functional beverages in 2022 had a valuation of $3.6 billion. The expected growth in the sector from 2023 to 2030 had a CAGR of as much as 12.1%. The potential growth in the sector was in alignment with the rising growth momentum in the sector in the United States owing to the decriminalization of psychedelic mushrooms. The company also stated in its news release that the usual methods of mycelium processing have often been hampered by long periods of cultivation and the necessity to grow the mushrooms over extended periods on soil.
Hypha Labs stated that it recognized the need for innovation in this particular space and hence worked on the development of innovative techniques in order to overcome the usual limitations. The company also noted that its techniques would provide a more sustainable and efficient approach to the mycelium processing industry. Additionally, the techniques would also work to further refine the active psilocybin extraction processes.
