Before I start explaining you about the cooking of Mushroom fry, lets us know little about Mushroom. A mushroom is a fleshy fruity body of a fungus. They eat organic matter; they do not photosynthesize like plants do.

The standard for the name "mushroom" is the cultivated white button mushroom. There are a wide variety of mushrooms and all mushrooms are not edible.

Mushrooms are high in dietary fiber, protein, and vitamins such as thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, biotin, cobalamins, and ascorbic acid. Mushrooms are also a source of some minerals, including selenium, potassium and phosphorus.

Most mushrooms that are sold in supermarkets have been commercially grown on mushroom farms. The most popular of these, Agaricus bisporus, is generally considered safe for most people to eat because it is grown in controlled, sterilized environments, though some individuals do not tolerate it well.

Mushrooms are very healthy, high in nutritional values, low in calories and occasionally used for medicinal purpose. There are three parts to the mushroom, the stem, gills and cap.
