Mushrooms are as mysteriously unique as they are delicious. While often thought of as a vegetable and prepared like one, mushrooms are actually fungi, a special type of living organism that has no roots, leaves, flowers or seeds. While they can be cultivated, they easily grow wild in many regions of the world. Reference: http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=97#descr

The button mushroom, better known as a white mushroom or sometimes Agaricus bisporus is the most widely cultivated, harvested, and distributed mushroom in the world. This edible fungus is eaten so commonly by such a wide variety of people that the term “mushroom” conjures up the image of a button mushroom in most people's minds. In the United States alone, an average person consumes over two pounds (one kilogram) of button mushrooms a year. The mildly flavored, hardy fungus can be found fresh, dried, and canned in grocery stores all over the world.
