Throughout history mushrooms have served many purposes, from benefiting diets, to being used as medicine. Mushrooms are part of the fungi family, which is an entire kingdom of its own, separate from plants. The fungi kingdom consists of mushrooms, lichen, yeast, plant rusts, moulds, and smut. Mushrooms are the fruit body of fungi, living a short life-span to produce spores so that the fungus can spread. Mushrooms are one small part of a network that allows trees to communicate.
Many people think that gourmet edible mushrooms grow only in far-away forests, where leaves, moisture, and shade provide the ideal habitat. And while that’s true for some exotic varieties, there are many types of mushroom that we grow, right here in Oregon.
