I was trying to find the beefiesf dried mushroom. Then I decided to look up if we’ve made mushrooms specifically for certain tastes or foods. Which sort of led me no where. I definitely couldn’t find examples of species of mushrooms we made, but people hinting at modern farmed mushrooms having a human hand.

If we have done it. How? What techniques are used for the selective traits?

Also have I even framed my question correctly. I beleive cultivars is the word for plants that have been modified on purpose by humans even if it meant just selective reproduction. If there is a better term please share, and thank you for reading. Cheers.
