2. The Magic of Mushrooms

Mushrooms are known as the 'Forgotten Kingdom' of food. Mysterious and sometimes peculiar, they are actually powerhouses of nutrition. Written by Tim Spector.

Mushrooms are the fruit of fungi. They grow underground, in the damp, and in the dark, and they can be very peculiar in appearance. However, these adaptable creatures (when edible) contain multitudes of vitamins, proteins, and chemicals that are brilliant for our bodies.Β 

Tim Spector explores the mysterious world of mushrooms and reveals exactly what they have to offer.Β
