Hello everyone! This is me Shubha Shree Malla from Grade Three Kanchanjunga. In this article, I am going to describe mushrooms. Mushrooms are a very popular food in our society. Mushrooms are very healthy for us and we can use them in different ways. Except in rare cases, everyone can eat mushrooms. That's why it's one of my favorite vegetables. I eat mushrooms once a week. I like mushrooms in many ways. I like mushrooms as soup, fry, mixed in noodles, as vegetables etc. On earth approximately 14,000 species of mushrooms are described till the date. We can use mushrooms in many ways, as a vegetable or as a medicine also. Normally in Nepal, Kanne chyau, Gobre chyau, Wood mushroom, Oyster, Maitake etc. are easily available. There are lots of benefits of mushrooms. It is good for our bones, helps to fight with cancer, increases absorption of iron, helps to maintain cholesterol levels, helps to treat anemia, prevents inflammation and improves body immunity. Nowadays farmers are also highly interested in producing mushrooms because its consumption has increased and the demand too.That’s why it is becoming popular among the people. We can store mushrooms for a long time by drying them and by making powder of it.
