A mushroom...
Are mushrooms plants...?
No, they are not...just read on and I'll tell you what they are.
While I was at my Mom's place, two weeks ago. A day before I came back to Uyo , she asked me and my little brother to accompany her to her garden.
That's where I saw this mushroom ,and I decided to pick it and take a picture of it....

We do eat some species of mushrooms. But not all mushroom are edible.

Mushrooms are not plants like I said before. They are a type of fungus and usually grow in damp and sometimes dark environments. Another name for it is Toadstool 😂😂
I don't know how that came about but it's fine.
The mushroom is actually the fruiting part of the fungus.
Mushrooms can also be cultivated and sold as food and medicine. They come in different shapes, sizes and colours. They're a good source of vitamins , mineral, very rich in antioxidants and potassium plus other heart-healthy compounds.
They can be eaten raw , cooked, fried or any how you want it. I know some of you have not tasted it but I'll like you to try it. They taste so nice and with very nice flavors.
Now that meat is very costly. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?...😂😂😎
It can act as a good replacement for meat sometimes.
Right? @bossj23 and @imohmictch 😂😂
Please don't go and pug anyhow mushrooms in the bush and say it's us-andrew that told you it's edible oo.
I'll like to invite @ninapenda @pandora10 and @nsijoro to join the contest.
