Cyprus mushrooms

Only about a dozen mushroom species have been identified in Cyprus. Mushrooms are in fact the 'fruit' of the (in many cases huge) underground fungi organism. They are very important for ecosystems as many species live symbiotically with plant species. Cypriots have traditionally looked at wild mushrooms as a delicacy. Extreme care must be taken in selecting wild mushrooms for food, as it is very difficult to identify edible from poisonous ones.
