All about Mushrooms

Mushrooms are fungi, not plants, and many types grow in woods, fields and gardens. They release spores to reproduce rather than seeds. Some mushrooms are delicious in cooking, but some wild ones are poisonous.

Never eat wild mushrooms unless an expert has confirmed they are safe. Shop-bought mushrooms are safe to cook and eat.
