Mushrooms

Mushrooms originated in France and are now the most widely cultivated edible mushrooms in the world. There are over 10,000 different types of mushrooms.
The French term champignons for mushrooms has become widely accepted. In the past, mushrooms were cultivated in dark, damp cellars and vaults, whereas today they are typically grown in air-conditioned, dark greenhouses.

Mushrooms contain vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K, as well as calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, and phosphorus.

It is best to store mushrooms in an open bowl or wrapped in a cloth in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator. This will keep them fresh for 4 to 5 days.
