The New York Times has been doing this for a while, with its prophecies of CBD-laced food and drink in 2020, and cheffy meal kits in 2021 in this article. And for the coming year, along with Southeast Asian noodle soup, 1980s-style cocktails, and more lab-grown vegan "meat," the paper is predicting that one surprising ingredient — mushrooms — will grace many a plate in 2022.
According to the paper, not only will psychedelic psilocybin-containing funghi continue to trend, but all kinds of mushrooms will show up in home and restaurant kitchens, such as king oyster mushrooms, which can be used as a meaty substitute for scallops. The Times also predicts that small urban mushroom farms will explode, including warehouses in which they are grown inside, and that we'll see mushroom fibers being used more and more in compostable containers, such as these from Mushroom Packaging.
