Claims: We claim:

1. An article of manufacture comprising a nonviable edible non-toxic fungal mycelium of a non-toxic strain of Fusarium possessing a high net protein utilization value of the order of 65 or above based on .alpha.-amino nitrogen.

2. A separated proliferated nonviable edible material comprising an edible non-toxic fungal mycelium of a non-toxic strain of Fusarium possessing a high net protein utilization value of the order of 65 or above based on .alpha.-amino nitrogen.

3. An article of manufacture comprising a nonviable edible mycelium of a non-toxic strain of Fusarium, having a filamentous structure, possessing good water-binding capacity and having a high net protein utilization value of the order of 65 or above based on .alpha.-amino nitrogen.

4. An article of manufacture comprising a dry nonviable edible mycelium of a non-toxic strain of Fusarium, having a filamentous structure, possessing good water-binding capacity and having a high net protein utilization value of the order of 65 or above based on .alpha.-amino nitrogen.

5. A fermentation product comprising a nonviable edible non-toxic fungal mycelium of a non-toxic strain of Fusarium possessing a high net protein utilization value of the order of 70 or above based on .alpha.-amino nitrogen.

6. A fermentation product comprising a nonviable edible non-toxic fungal mycelium of a non-toxic strain of Fusarium selected from the group consisting of Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium solani and Fusarium oxysporum and variants and mutants thereof possessing a high net protein utilization value of the order of 65 or above based on .alpha.-amino nitrogen.
