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) or pores on the underside of the cap.
Mushrooms are a low-calorie food usually eaten cooked or raw
and as garnish to a meal. Dietary mushrooms are a good
source of B
vitamins, such as riboflavin, niacin and pantothenic
acid, and the essential minerals, selenium, copper and potassium.
Fat, carbohydrate
and calorie
content are low, with absence of vitamin C
and sodium.
There are approximately 20 calories in an ounce of mushrooms.
Mushrooms are used extensively in cooking, in many cuisines (notably
Chinese,

and Indian).
Mushroom is called Khumb in Hindi. They are known as the "meat" of the vegetable
world.
