Mushrooms
Mushrooms are a consistent year-round staple, with indoor cultivation ensuring steady availability and quality. While cultivated varieties remain stable, wild-foraged mushrooms like Porcini and Chanterelles offer a brief seasonal peak in autumn. They are a unique source of vitamin D, B vitamins, and selenium, providing a rich, savory depth.
