Mushroom comes in different shapes, sizes and colours; it stands up as a side and can replace meat as a main. A mushroom or toadstool is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground, on soil or on its food source. Hence the word "mushroom" is most often applied to those fungi (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) that have a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus), and gills (lamellae, sing. lamella) on the underside of the cap. "Mushroom" also describes a variety of other gilled fungi, with or without stems, therefore the term is used to describe the fleshy fruiting bodies of some Ascomycota. These gills produce microscopic spores that help the fungus spread across the ground or its occupant surface. Mushrooms are a low-carb, practically no-fat food with some protein. Mushrooms have about 15 vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B6, folate magnesium, zinc and potassium. The presentation will provide more details on the topic.
