Mushrooms
Mushrooms are edible fungal fruiting bodies spanning many kinds, available fresh, dried or processed and valued for their varied cooking textures and flavours.
About Mushrooms
Mushrooms are the edible fruiting bodies of fungi used as foods. This broad category includes many kinds, so the name does not identify a species, growing form, or whether the product is wild or cultivated. Mushrooms may be encountered fresh, dried, or otherwise processed, although no particular state is specified here.
Depending on kind and handling, mushrooms can be firm or tender, with caps and stems that vary in shape, colour, and texture. Their flavour ranges across the category and may change with cooking or drying. The label supports the general food category, not a particular mushroom or preparation.
