Wanna hang with a fungi?. Turkey tail mushroom
Mushrooms are not plants but fungi, each of whose variety has its own importance. Poisonous jack-o'-lantern mushrooms are sometimes misidentified as edible chanterelles. Other types are primarily used for medicine, such as today's species, turkey tail, named for its likeness, which has been used for treating lung conditions in traditional Chinese medicine. Recent research showed them exhibiting anti-tumour properties and helping fortify the immune system. Many make great meal additions, and from portobello to shiitake mushrooms, there are thousands of edible species out there. Sautéed, stuffed, sliced, on a pizza or in soup, it is time to bring some umami fun(gi) to your plate!
