EAT MUSHROOMS Mushrooms are fruiting bodies of some fungi belonging to class “Basidiomycetes” SP. There are both edible and poisonous mushrooms but for this matter we are looking at edible mushrooms. In the past mushrooms were only growing wildly in association with termites and as saprophytes under Gods own arrangements and these grow seasonally. But due to demand for mushroom and its being seasonal in nature, instead of waiting for God always, man decided to advance in biotechnology and mushrooms can now be grown indoors artificially. Initially African people used to refer mushrooms as “the food for the gods” because of their special flavor, nutritional, value and medicinal properties. Among the Baganda people it’s never missed during the celebrations of the birth of twins. Beneficial to People’s Health Where as some low income earners may buy mushroom to eat in the names of preventing certain diseases, as its anti cancer properties, biotic properties, we as community are looking at its being both medicinal and riches in nutritional value like ,proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates. According to survey carried, mushroom cultivation is still carried by very few Ugandans despite the need. And that is why Uganda still imports form either Kenya or South Africa. If we produce mushroom in Kabale, we shall reduce the costs associated with imports. freetocharities.org.uk/gzp/pleasehelp.html
