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 Mushroom and Walnut Soup

    This recipe is based on a ‘remembered soup' mentioned by @Ken Natton in another thread (see here). Of course, I have no idea whether my creation resembles the original but it is a very good soup! The flavour of mushrooms is helped by a splash of alcohol and I used brandy. But you could use...

    Recipe Mushroom Masala

    Earthy mushrooms work so well with spices and will absorb the deep flavours. For this recipe use chunky mushrooms such as chestnut or basic white button mushrooms. Delicate chanterelles will wilt with disappointment if you try to introduce them to a robust curry. Ingredients (serves 2) 250g...

    Recipe Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms with Marmite Butter

    This is the first of my experiments with Marmite Butter. These mushrooms would make a great starter and are very easy to do. For a vegan version* make up the Marmite butter using margarine instead of butter. *Some vegans do not eat yeast in which case this recipe would not be suitable. Baked...

    Recipe Saffron Parsnips with Spiced Mushrooms

    Recipe Mushroom, Apricot and Coriander Sausages

    This is another of my 'really old' recipes from the Vegetarian Good Food Magazine which no longer exists.

    Recipe Chicken stew with Mushrooms, Sweetcorn and Macaroni

    Not my usual style. This is a recipe for left-over roast chicken. A rather creamy affair, although I make it without cream (you could add cream if you wish). The thing which makes the dish for me is the pink peppercorns. You could leave them out, but they do provide a wonderful zingy foil to the...
