A favourite food of Hobbits. In the Shire, mushrooms that grew in the boggy region of the Marish were the most prized.

Farmer Maggot grew them in his fields, and Frodo remembered stealing some from Maggot's fields as a child. He revisited the same farm years later, and the farmer gave him a basket of mushrooms as a parting gift.
