We all love eating mushrooms, and they have a unique taste that adds a new flavor and texture to our daily diet.

A mushroom is a fungus type that generally grows above ground level. A mushroom can generally be found growing on tree barks or at the source of their food.

A mushroom is fleshy and spongy. It is shaped like an umbrella. Did you know? Sometimes mushrooms have an arc or ring-shaped fruiting bodies, which are termed as fairy rings.

Many mushrooms are edible. Some mushrooms are also called a toadstool. But the term "toadstool" is generally used to describe a poisonous and inedible mushroom.

However, the two terms - "mushroom" and "toadstool" cannot be scientifically differentiated. It is so because there is no evident research on the difference to date. A mushroom that is grown commercially and for sale in the market is known as bisporus.

An edible mushroom can be quite a delicacy. Over the years, a mushroom has proved its impact in the gastro world by being a source of flavor across several cuisines.

Even though a mushroom is a type of fungus, it is often group under the category of vegetables when it comes to cooking.

A mushroom can serve as a blessing to a dish as it infuses flavor without adding much fat or sodium. Since an edible mushroom does not look much different from a poisonous mushroom, one should always buy a mushroom from a trusted grocery store.

A mushroom may vary from another mushroom in shape, color, and size. The different types of mushrooms may include shiitake, portobello, button or white mushroom, crimini, oyster, maitake, enoki, and beech. All of these taste different.

While picking a mushroom, one should test its firmness and make sure that the mushroom is not moist or moldy. In order to preserve a mushroom before consuming it, it is advisable to store the mushroom in a paper bag inside the refrigerator.

The mushroom can be consumed within five days. Before consumption, the mushroom should be dusted and rinsed lightly.

A mushroom is packed with nutritional benefits. In addition to being low on sodium and fat-free, a mushroom is also low on calories and does not have cholesterol. Hence, a mushroom is good for your heart. In addition to these, a mushroom also contains vitamins, fibers, and minerals.

There is no one best way to eat a mushroom. It can be chopped, diced, sliced, sauteed, grilled, or roasted. A mushroom can be added to a soup, salad, sandwich, casseroles, wraps, and more.
