  10. Cut it Out… Cutting open cells releases enzymes and exposes the delicious insides to oxygen – oxidation. When cutting, cut as few cells as possible! Oh….and Pizza is a Vegetable!

  12. Cell Wall - Chitin Ky-tin….not Chi-tin. Get it right.

  13. Hyphae

  14. Fungal texture The hyphae form a mesh – cooking breaks only hydrogen bonds; the texture doesn’t change much. Longer cooking removes more water and will make the fungus more dense.
