Mushroom recipes
“Autumn's most direct gift to the table on a humid day; its lightly woodsy aroma becomes pronounced in soup.”
Nutrition
Low in calories; although it contains only a small amount of protein, that protein includes essential amino acids. One of the few foods notable for B vitamins and minerals (including some selenium). Make sure it is a cultivated mushroom variety.

How do you store Mushroom?
Store in a paper bag, not a plastic one, in the fridge — paper balances moisture and prevents mushrooms from turning slimy.
What should you look for when buying Mushroom?
Make sure it is a cultivated mushroom; choose ones with closed, dry, unblemished caps.
What goes well with Mushroom?
Cooking mushrooms with a small amount of fat (olive oil/butter) helps release their aromatic compounds.
