A mushroom is the conspicuous umbrella-shaped fruiting body (sporophore) of certain fungi
A mushroom is the conspicuous umbrella-shaped fruiting body (sporophore) of certain fungi, typically of the order Agaricales in the phylum Basidiomycota but also of some other groups.
Popularly, the term mushroom is used to identify the edible sporophores; the term toadstool is often reserved for inedible or poisonous sporophores. There is, however, no scientific distinction between the two names.
In a very restricted sense, mushroom indicates the common edible fungus of fields and meadows (Agaricus campestris). A very closely related species, A. bisporus, is the mushroom grown commercially and seen in markets

    Recipe Goan Fish Curry

    Fish specific to the waters of Goa, India, would be preferred, but as this isn't always possible (including where I live), any decent white fish of a bit of thickness would work in this curry. I used cod. The recipe I followed left open the choice of vegetables - I went with okra, as I...

    Recipe Almond-Breaded Tapenade-Stuffed Trout, with Mushroom Side

    This recipe is inspired by Jacques Pépin, from his book, Poulets & Légumes: My Favorite Chicken and Vegetable Recipes. Although he stuffed chicken breasts, I used trout. So, to be honest, the only part of his recipe I took was the mushroom sauce! I hadn't wanted to adapt the tapenade that...

    Frogs legs are technically NOT seafood or fish, they are amphibians - but they live in the water and their tadpole stage is entirely water-requiring. And since it would be silly for Cookingbites to put up a topic for amphibians and/or reptiles - I am posting this one here. I think this i the...
