Mycoproteins are single-cell proteins derived from fungi. Mycoprotein can assist in meeting protein food needs according to one of the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals. Although mycoprotein has considerable potential in the food sector, research towards this technology has not been done much and the commercialization of mycoprotein products is miniscule. Research and development in the realm of mycoproteins is generally carried out using liquid culture. Therefore, mycoprotein produced using solid medium is very interesting to look into because it requires relatively less energy and lower costs because it does not require aeration or agitation and can use solid waste. This research was conducted by optimizing the solid phase fermentation process of the P. giganteus by varying the composition of the main medium in the form of corn cobs and kale, and the addition of phytohormones (auxin and gibberellins). The dependent variable observed was the growth rate of the mycelium in the petri dish by observing its radial growth, as well as measuring the protein content through biuret spectrophotometric method. Optimal treatment selection was carried out using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, which is a quantitative selection method by giving weight to the assessment based on the level of importance, with the criteria being assessed are cost, growth rate and protein content of fungi. Mycoprotein from P. giganteus was found to have the fastest mycelium growth rate at a ratio of low corn cob and high kale concentrations with the best composition being a composition with a ratio of 3:7. The best phytohormone for the growth of this mycoprotein is gibberellins with a concentration of 5 ppm.
