EATING MUSHROOMS

I enjoy watching my son, every Saturday morning, savouring a bowl of mushroom soup and brown bread. This is a habit he picked from my mother who is a lover of mushrooms. Mushrooms are basically fungi, which have a fleshy and spore-bearing fruiting body. They have been in use not only for consumption purposes, but also for medicinal purposes, since ages. Pharaohs ate mushrooms as a delicacy, Greeks believed them to be a source of strength and Chinese regarded them as healthy food.
