For the H. erinaceus wine, various organoleptic attributes were evaluated, namely the alcohol flavor, mushroom flavor,
fermentation aroma, color, and overall preference (Table 2). Sensory evaluation was performed with H. erinaceus wine containing different concentrations of H. erinaceus powder. The S500 sample showed the best results in alcohol flavor (5.02 1.14), mushroom flavor (5.52 0.79), and overall acceptance (5.02 1.11). In fermentation aroma and color, there were no significant differences detected among the samples. Based on these results, 5% (w/v) of H. erinaceus addition wine sample (S500) was selected to carry on subsequent acetic fermentation studies.
