Mushrooms are yummy, they are also fungi. They are great in salads, in cream of mushroom soup or stuffed. Of course, some should be avoided because they can cause stomach aches, but no major ordering of plants are all good.
Fungi act as nature's garbageman, consuming plant matter in soil and forests and converting it back to useful soil. Also, fairies (and not high school students) like to dance around them.
Fungi's cousins, the molds, yield many of the antimicrobal medicines that other responders have mentioned.
So go out and kiss a mushroom.

Mainly as anti-biotics, but fungi also provide a crucial service in decomposing dead plant and animal matter.

Everyone failed to mention the most important fungi of all: yeast! Of course, you know that yeast is used to rise bread and produce alcohol for beer

Edible mushrooms contain more protein than any vegetable, and are easy to digest, so they are an excellent food and should be included in your diet, either on their own or mixed with other ingredients.
