“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.
