14 Types of Mushrooms and their Uses

With so many types of mushrooms, the possibilities (and recipes) are endless. High in fiber and vitamins, mushrooms are also fat- and cholesterol-free. They’re popular around the world due to their versatility as well as their meat-like heft and texture — and these days, we generally don’t have to travel further than the produce aisle to explore them all. Here, we take a look at the flavor profiles and characteristics of the most popular mushroom varieties.

1. White Button Mushroom

We cannot forget that the end of the day Tramadol is a medicine and it is bound to have side effects. Some people may experience normal to serious side effects after taking Tramadol. These side effects are nausea, headache, constipation, dizziness, vomiting, etc.

In some extreme cases, it may have an effect on the central nervous system. Serious side effects include respiratory depression, serotonin syndrome, QT prolongation. The patient must get in touch with the doctor immediately if any side effect is observed.

It must also be noted that Tramadol is known to interact with certain medicines and supplements. So, if a person is taking any other medicine or supplement then the same has to be informed to the doctor.

2. Oyster Mushroom

Although these can be found in the wild growing on the sides of trees, the ones you’ll find in the store or on a menu are most likely cultivated. Like their namesakes, they’re whitish in color and fan-shaped, and possess a delicate odor and flavor. Oyster mushrooms are found in many Japanese and Chinese dishes such as soups and stir-fries.

3. Milky Mushroom

Milky mushroom (Calocybe indica) can be grown on wide range of substrates as in case of oyster mushroom. It can be grown on substrates containing lignin, cellulose and hemicelluloses. Substrate should be fresh and dry. Substrates exposed to rain or harvested premature (green color) are prone to various weed moulds which may result in failure of the crop. It can be grown on straw of paddy, wheat, ragi, maize/bajra/cotton stalks and leaves, sugarcane bagasse, cotton and jute wastes, dehulled maize cobs, tea/coffee waste etc., However cereal straw (paddy/wheat) easily available in abundance, is being widely used
