By: Gopal, T. C.

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2023 in the subject Biology - Diseases, Health, Nutrition, language: English, abstract: The present data represents the concept, types, uses and values of mushroom. Fungi called mushrooms are prized for both their flavor and their nutritional content. They are a great natural source of vitamin D and low in salt and sugar. Growing in popularity among new business owners is mushroom cultivation. They are grown using specially bred spawns on a compost that has been properly prepared. Due to their delicate nature, they must be handled quickly to prevent rapid deterioration. As a result, they go through a variety of processing techniques, including drying, freezing, canning, pickling, and sterilization. In addition to preserving them, these techniques aid in flavour development, much like pickling.
