These inconspicuous mushrooms are still commonly found in meadows and other grassy places in the temperate regions of Europe, despite the wide use of artificial fertilizers and chemicals to increase crop yields. They are most numerous following a rainfall after the hay harvest.
They generally grow in clumps and often form fairy rings which can measure as much as several metres in diameter. Whole mushrooms are easily dried; when reconstituted they rapidly regain their original form and taste like fresh mushrooms. Dried mushrooms may be stored in air-tight containers for several years.
The whole caps previously immersed in water are used for seasoning. Properly dried mushrooms can easily be ground to a powder, which can be stored. Fairy ring champignon is used like other mushrooms ,to flavour soups, sauces and meat dishes as well as in pickled vegetable relishes.
Mint tea, which does not need to be sweetened, is very tasty and healthy. It promotes the secretion of gastric juices and bile thus aiding digestion and lessening flatulence. Mint thus combines properties that are not only satisfying to the palate but of medicinal value as well. Britain's classic mint sauce, served with lamb, however, is not made from peppermint but from spearmint (M. spicata), whose essential oil is also used in making chewing gum.
The nutmeg is dioecious and one male tree is planted to pollinate every 20 female trees. It produces flowers and fruits in succession throughout the year. A single tree yields as many as 2,000 fruits, which are gathered into baskets attached to long bamboo poles.
Peppermint is a perennial herb, up to 1 m (3 ft) high, grown throughout Europe in a number of forms. These range from those with all-green leaves to forms with red stems and undersides of the leaves. Leaves are collected at the beginning of the flowering period and dried immediately as rapidly as possible in a warm airy place.
