The two most cultivated mushrooms in Macedonia are the Champignons

or Button Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus,in Macedonia simply known as

) and the Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus, here
known as ).Both are very delicious and healthy.Another,but less
cultivated than these two is the Japanese mushroom called Shitake
().It is even more beneficial but very rare here (I personally
haven't seen nor tried this kind yet here in MK), maybe one of the
reasons is the higher production costs and therefore higher market price
than the previous two.

However,many mushrooms can't be cultivated and can only be found in

forests,fields,hills,mountains,meadows etc.,one has to simply go out and
look for them.
A great meal can be literally steps away from you.I will guide you step
by step through varieties of mushrooms in Macedonia with each post.
