Mushrooms my little favorites..
hidden under leaves, wet from the autumn rain, small living organisms, they are not plants, they are fungi that more often look like umbrellas.
There is a great variety of mushrooms, and many species appear overnight, growing or expanding rapidly.
At 90% consisting of water, and the remaining 10 % of carbohydrates and proteins, which, in quality, are almost comparable to the animal.
They have strong, medicinal properties, and old wizards and witches used them routinely in their magic filters : spells, remedies, poisons.
In Greece we can find around two thousand species of mushrooms, most not eatable.
However, considered delicacies and some species of mushrooms are food just for immortals.
