Grilled Stuff Mushrooms

Mushrooms are known to be one of the most versatile and healthiest vegetable.. errr.. no.. .fruit... no no...  Mushroom is a fungus which is supposed to be very healthy and also delicious... I know it sounds very bizzare, to call mushroom a fungus.. I too got to know about it just before i started writing this post and had a doubt as to is mushroom classified as a vegetable or not.. Nyways, im happy to know about this only after i have tasted mushroom, otherwise i would have second thoughts about trying this out..  Trust me, once u get a taste of this u will never want to exclude this from your diet ever.. And it can be eaten in any form.. raw, steamed, stir fired, grilled etc etc..
