MUSHROOM

Mushrooms are a diverse group of fungi that are widely used in cooking for their unique flavor and texture. They come in many varieties, each with its own distinctive characteristics. Mushrooms typically have a cap (the top) and a stem (the stalk), with some species also having gills or pores underneath the cap. The size and shape vary greatly depending on the type.

Mushrooms are low in calories but high in nutrients. They’re a good source of B vitamins, including riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic acid, as well as minerals like selenium, potassium, and copper. They’re also known for containing antioxidants and other compounds that may promote health.
