I love mushrooms, especially as a sauce with my steak.
Me too, I study them for a living in fact, My job Identifying mushrooms requires a only a basic understanding of their macroscopic structure, Its a fascinating field of study. 
I had no idea there was even a science dedicated to mushrooms! Do you know why mushrooms taste so good?
Well Edible mushrooms are usually cooked and consumed for their nutritional value, Most people dont like the taste, It just depends on how you cook them. 
I see, I usually boil them and cook them with Wasabi sauce. I guess most people dont like it raw. 
Yea I know that raw mushrooms are usually consumed by people practicing folk medicine and are known as medicinal mushrooms.
I think mushrooms do have some healing property. Otherwise I wouldnt feel so refreshed after eating them!
Mushroom poisoning
Mushroom poisoning refers to harmful effects from ingestion of toxic substances present in a mushroom. These symptoms can vary from slight gastrointestinal discomfort to death in about 10 days. The toxins present are secondary metabolites produced by the fungus. Mushroom poisoning is usually the result of ingestion of wild mushrooms after misidentification of a toxic mushroom as an edible species. The most common reason for this misidentification is close resemblance in terms of colour and general morphology of the toxic mushrooms species with edible species. To prevent mushroom poisoning, mushroom gatherers
"Agaricus" or their order Agaricales. By extension, the term "mushroom" can also refer to either the entire fungus when in culture, the thallus (called a mycelium) of species forming the fruiting bodies called mushrooms, or the species itself.
Identification.
Identifying mushrooms requires a basic understanding of their macroscopic structure. Most are Basidiomycetes and gilled. Their spores, called basidiospores, are produced on the gills and fall in a fine rain of powder from under the caps as a result. At the microscopic
