Groom The Mushroom

Monsoon’s here! Thus, you might find nature’s petty umbrellas- the mushrooms growing all around! With the smell of the wet soil and the greenery all around, mushrooms are one such element of monsoon that gives us a complete rainy feel and triggers the season’s enthusiasm! As we all know mushrooms are the fleshy and edible fruit bodies of several species of macro fungi, that is, the fungi which bear fruiting structures that are large enough to be seen with the naked eye. They can appear either below ground or above ground, where they may be picked by hand. 

Not all can be consumed however; edibility may be defined by a criterion that includes absence of poisonous effects on humans and a desirable taste and aroma. With its season getting chilled jitters to our body, let’s try a hot mushroom recipe not just to warm up our bodies but also to build on the monsoon enthusiasm!
