Agaricus bisporus
Several species of fungi have been domesticated for use directly as food, or in fermentation to produce foods and drugs. The white button mushroom "Agaricus bisporus" is widely grown for food. The yeast "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" have been used for thousands of years to ferment beer and wine, and to leaven bread. Mould fungi including "Penicillium" are used to mature cheeses and other dairy products, as well as to make drugs such as antibiotics.
