       There are two varieties, one is edible other one is poisonous.So when you pick it from your back yard don't forget there may be some poisonous spices.If you are very sure,then you can go ahead and cook otherwise it may cause serious allergic reaction.

  1. You eat raw mushroom in salad, specifically portobello mushroom, even in cold pasta salad too. I love raw mushrooms, best to make mushroom pizza or parmigiana
