# Bosque Foods

> Bosque Foods was a Berlin food-biotechnology company that grew edible mycelium on agricultural side streams, preserving the fungi's fibrous network to make minimally processed chicken- and pork-style whole cuts. Founder Isabella Iglesias-Musachio built the company from an IndieBio lab into a transatlantic team, raised about €2.8 million in a 2022 seed round and developed products for flexitarian consumers and food-industry partners. The harder experiment was industrialization: after the German entity entered insolvency proceedings in 2024, Infinite Roots acquired Bosque in 2026 for an undisclosed price, folding its solid-state fermentation IP, process data and whole-cut expertise into a larger production platform.
