👉 Mucorine is a type of amino acid found in certain types of fungi. It's also known as lactic acid, a byproduct of fermentation. These fungi produce lactic acid when they consume sugars or other organic molecules, such as lactose from milk or sugar from food. Mucorine can be produced by many different species of fungi, including those that are part of the mycorrhizal network, which is a symbiotic relationship between plants and fungi.
