October 15 is National Mushroom Day!

Portobello, shiitake, button, chanterelle — we’re talking mushrooms here, because October 15 is National Mushroom Day. If you don’t already know, mushrooms are fleshy fruiting bodies of fungi, and there’s a variety of species, which is why we have so many types of mushrooms to choose from. They’re a staple in a vegetarian’s diet due to their nutritious value and hearty consistency — plus they make a delicious risotto!
