For those who do not eat non-veg, the mushroom is considered a better option. Its taste and texture seem like meat, not only that the quantity of calories in mushroom is low but it is loaded with vitamin B, D, potassium, iron, and selenium. Mushroom is beneficial not only for the body but also for the brain. Mushroom is also considered beneficial for diabetic patients because it contains very little amount of starch.
