Quorn is infact Fusarium venenatum, a soil mould (not athletes foot like some noobs think). The fungus is grown in continually oxygenated water in large, sterile fermentation tanks. The product is then dried and mixed with chicken egg albumen, which acts as a binder. It is then textured, giving it some of the grained character of meat, and pressed into meat forms

An edible protein that is not animal or vegetable based, developed in Europe. Quorn is a fungus and therefore not animal or vegetable, although bichemically similar to animals on the cellular level, so is a good source of nutrition. The organism from which Quorn is harvested is a batch-grown form of the tinnea fungus that causes athletes foot in humans.
