Kyriakides Mushrooms

Folklore or Fact?
Are mushrooms, the plant of immortality? That’s what ancient Egyptians believed. The deliciously aromatic flavour of mushrooms was declared to be food only for royalty. In various other civilizations throughout the world including Russia, China, Greece, Mexico and Latin America, mushroom ceremonies took place. Mushrooms were believed to contain powers that enabled one to have super- human strength, help in finding lost objects and lead the soul to the realm of the gods. 

Mushroom Facts
Today mushrooms have become accessible to everyone and are therefore cultivated all over the world including Cyprus. From the caves of Paris (which is where they were originally grown) to the dinner tables of millions,  mushrooms have come out of the dark and into a spotlight  with an intensity that is ever increasing.
