The Mighty Mushroom

When I was young, every family order of pizza included mushrooms. My father would sometimes sneak mushrooms under cheese to make it extra special. They were a hit with my dad, but they didn’t make the pizza. I am now older, and I have a refined palate. (I still love Cinnamon Toast Crunch), but I understand why mushrooms are so special in culinary arts. The mushrooms are versatile and adaptable to many different dishes, thanks to their incredible texture and flavour. To top it all, I discovered how wonderful mushrooms are for your overall health. Here’s my tribute to the mushroom. Visit Soulcybin before reading this.

White Button

White mushrooms can come in many colors, including light brown to white. These smaller white mushrooms are known as button mushrooms. They are readily available in grocery stores and make a great addition to any recipe. The mild flavor of freshly harvested white mushrooms is delicate. They develop a more complex taste as the caps get darker.
