All mushrooms are fungi that produce spores. These spores allow them to travel from one surface to another one. There are different types of mushrooms. Some of them are dangerous to eat and can release toxins called mycotoxins that cause side effects in humans. However, there are types of mushrooms such as chanterelles, porcini, champignon, ect, which are edible and very delicious. Foraging for mushrooms is an autumn activity and it is quite common in Europe. However, it is very important to be experienced in order to avoid misidentification.
On the other hand the edible mushrooms have many beneficial properties: they contain a potent antioxidant; selenium, which supports the immune system and prevents damage to tissues and cells. It is also very good for thyroid function. Therefore, it is recommended for those suffering from hypothyrodism and hyperthyrodism. They are also one of the few non-animal sources of food that contain vitamin D which is essential to maintain bone health and strong muscles.
