mushrooms

A mushroom or toadstool is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground, on soil, or on its food source.
The standard for the name "mushroom" is the cultivated white button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus; hence the word "mushroom" is most often applied to those fungi (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) that have a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus), and gills (lamellae, sing. lamella) on the underside of the cap. "Mushroom" also describes a variety of other gilled fungi, with or without stems, therefore the term is used to describe the fleshy fruiting bodies of some Ascomycota. These gills produce microscopic spores that help the fungus spread across the ground or its occupant surface.
Forms deviating from the standard morphology usually have more specific names, such as "bolete", "puffball", "stinkhorn", and "morel", and gilled mushrooms themselves are often called "agarics" in reference to their similarity to Agaricus or their order Agaricales. By extension, the term "mushroom" can also refer to either the entire fungus when in culture, the thallus (called a mycelium) of species forming the fruiting bodies called mushrooms, or the species itself.

    Recipe Roasted garlic flan with mushroom sauce

    I saw this made on a "cheffy" TV show as an appetizer, but it could easily be a light meal with the addition of a salad. The pasta in the dish is there as a slight thickening agent, i.e. the starch released from the pasta as it cooks. I already had a recipe for a Leek flan, so I reworked it...

    Recipe Lentil and Mushroom Dressing

    LENTIL AND MUSHROOM DRESSING I found a recipe called Lentil and Mushroom Stuffing. In my region we call it dressing if it is not in the bird. I took several liberties with the recipe using what I had on hand. The Late Night Gourmet would call it improvisations. It worked. George liked it...

    I found the recipe in theguardian.com food website and made only minor modifications to it (less salt, more garlic, ginger, miso). Adapted from Meera Sodha’s vegan recipe for celery congee with braised mushrooms | The new vegan. It is the main accompaniment to a meal, so will need a protein...

    Recipe Brown sugar roasted chicken thighs with mushrooms & shallots

    This dish is easy to assemble and cooks in 35 minutes. For me, the use of dry sherry is essential here - it adds a subtle ‘nutty’ dimension and depth of flavour. The result is deliciously sweet, savoury and addictive. You need to serve this with potatoes to soak up the the ‘gravy’. The...

    Recipe Beer braised mushrooms with creamed parsnips

    I used a ruby beer for this dish but a darker or lighter beer will also work. Beer really enhances the deep savoury flavour of the mushrooms which contrast with the slightly sweet yet earthy taste of parsnips. The secret is in the reduction of the beer. Ingredients (serves 2 as a light meal...

    Recipe Spam Wellington

    Will this convert someone who hates Spam? Probably not. I've made Beef Wellington before, and I prepared this the same way. The big exception is that there's no need to check the doneness before removing from the oven. There's also no need to shape the meat: it's already a perfect rectangle...
