The present invention relates to a method for the production of a meat substitute composition based on solid state fermentation, wherein the method comprises the steps of:(i)providing a substrate having a moisture content of above 50 % (w/w) comprising two different ingredients each having a different texture；(ii)introducing to said substrate an edible mushroom mycelium； and (iii)allowing said mycelium to grow in said substrate for a period which is sufficient to saturate the substrate with mycelium to provide the meat substitute composition.
