Cultures throughout the world have long prized edible mushrooms. Ancient Egyptians declared mushrooms to be the food of royalty and banned commoners from eating them. Other cultures have used mushrooms to encourage super-human strength, help find lost objects and lead the soul to the god realms.
Technically speaking, mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of fungi. They are often considered a vegetable, but genetically fungi are more closely related to animals than plants. This could explain the often meat-like flavor of many mushroom species.
You can easily grow your own delicious crop of mushrooms with some basic steps.
