Mushrooms are an excelent food. There's no doubt about it. One of these days I'm going to write a little bit about their important content in vitamins, polysacharides, microelements, aminoacids and so on. They are healthy and tasteful at the same time.
I'm not a wild fan of mushrooms, but I appreciate a good meal ;)
Here's a piece of advise: Never eat a mushroom you don't know! ::)
All mushrooms can be consumed...but some of them...only once ;D
Mushrooms are cholesterol-free, and contain minor amounts of B vitamins as well as essential amino acids. Their primary worth, however, is as a food with exquisite, delicate flavors and pleasing texture.
As in the North and Western countries these are the mostly eaten food and also it is a low cholesterol fruit which have a great amount of amino acids and also have a bit of vitamin B which is mostly essential for our bodies.
I can't say I'm crazy about eating mushrooms. I think I tasted 4 or 5 species. I liked Boletus edulis most.
