The world over, gourmet mushrooms are popping up in restaurant menus. Their unconventional forms, flavors, and aromas make them exciting culinary companions. Some gourmet mushrooms can only be gathered from the wild, while others are farmed on modest sizes. Here, we'll offer you a brief overview of gourmet mushrooms, explaining what they are, where to find them, and how to use them in the kitchen. Define a gourmet mushroom, please. Fungi include the entire group of organisms that includes mushrooms. Mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of fungi, the component of the organism that makes the spores the fungus needs to reproduce. Mycelium, the rest of the fungus, is typically found either beneath the earth or winding its way through decomposing organic debris. But enough about fungal biology; we're here to discuss the many tasty types of edible mushrooms.
