Boast Off Your Gastronomic Skills with The Umbrella-shaped Edible Fungi

Mushrooms are the only Produce with Natural Vitamin D Content

​Mushrooms are conspicuous umbrella-shaped fruiting bodies of specific fungi that produce spores. Not all mushrooms can be picked and tasted. Only certain varieties, such as the button, oyster, porcini and chanterelles, are edible and consuming non-edible mushrooms can lead to vomiting, stomach pain or even death in some situations, as in the case of the death cap mushroom.

All types of edible mushrooms contain certain quantities of protein, fiber, B vitamins and powerful antioxidants and are consumed for their numerous health benefits.
