Mushrooms are one of the most widespread living organisms on the Earth. The science on mushrooms–MYCOLOGY (from the Greek word myko-champignon, mushroom, logos- science) has undergone a long path of development . The Greek philosopher Aristotle is considered to be the progenitor of mushrooms, who was also the first one to describe them.
In Roman civilization mushrooms were highly appreciated. They called them the food of Gods or the Emperor’s food. In their works the Roman writers often mentioned mushrooms. Thus Marcial wrote down the following verse:

Silk, gold and clothing
even the mistress you can do without,
However, mushroom dishes can never be out!

From Sumerian and Greek mysteries to the American Indians rites, the holy mushrooms cult is as old as the cognition of the good and the evil, or illusion on Devine power and eternity.
It has been proved scientifically that many mushroom spices possess extraordinary medicinal effects.
If we just remember the microscopic fungi Penicillium, from which a wide-spectrum antibiotic was obtained, named penicillin. How many lives have been saved by it ?
It has been proved that over five hundred species of mushrooms possess medicinal properties. Mushrooms are one of the most delicious specialties and the greatest secrets.
