Mushroom Nutritional Fact (www.buzzel.com)
Mushroom's nutritional value, can in a nut shell, be stated as good source of dietary fiber, low fat content, no cholesterol, rich in folic acid, nicotinic acid, rich in minerals like potassium, iron, copper, phosphorus and rich in vitamins like B1, B6 and C. They are 80-90% water, however, they furnish the body with more vegetable protein per 100g than most of the vegetables. Moreover, mushrooms are low in sodium and carbohydrates.
Besides vitamins and minerals, mushrooms are also rich in insoluble as well as soluble dietary fiber. Mushroom's nutritional benefits also encompass promotion of regular and good bowel health. The high dietary fiber content means better bowel movements and less room for high fat and high-calorie choices, thereby resulting in weight loss.

Sauteed Mushroom (www.bigoven.com)
16 whole mushrooms
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
salt and pepper
Preparation
Never run mushrooms directly under water; they will absorb water like a sponge, and your saute will be far too soggy. Instead, get a paper towel slightly damp, and using it, wipe mushrooms down. Slice the mushrooms.
Preheat a large skillet to medium high heat. (The larger the saucepan the better -- mushrooms need space to brown. They should not be overlapping if you can avoid it.) Add oil. Wait a minute or two for it to come up to medium-high heat, and add butter, then mushrooms immediately. Brown on both sides, and take off of heat. Add salt and pepper to taste; serve immediately.

Garlic Mushrooms (www.thingsthatfizz.blogspot.com)
8 oz (225gm) mushrooms
1/2 oz (15gm) butter
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Dash hot pepper sauce (optional)
salt and pepper
Instruction:
Wash and dry mushrooms. Melt the butter in a small pan then add mushrooms and cook at a medium heat for a couple of minutes stirring constantly. Add the garlic, continue cooking & stirring for another minute or so. Stir in a dash of pepper sauce and season with just a touch of salt and pepper.
Reduce heat to absolute minimum then cover with a tight fitting lid. Leave the mushrooms to sweat for at least ten minutes, stirring occasionally.
If you're serving these garlic mushrooms as a side dish they'll easily wait twenty minutes or more sweating on minimum whilst you finish off the rest of the meal.
