Our fabulous of fresh mushroom

In a hilarious episode of her show yesterday, Ellen DeGeneres nearly stumped Drew Barrymore with her “Mystery Word” game. The audience was on the edge of their seats because they were promised a prize if one of the guests said the word. While Ellen’s celeb guests were in a silent room playing poker, she filled the audience in on the mystery word, “.” Ellen explained that she’s trying to eat healthier and found a superfood rich in vitamin D, delicious, nutritious and inexpensive, which was none other than our fabulous, fresh .

The laughter ensued when special guest Drew Barrymore was prompted to guess the word by naming common veggie pizza toppings. Sausage? No. Brussels sprouts, celery, squash? Are these even pizza toppings? Maraschino cherries, moss? FINALLY nearly two minutes into the game, Ellen let Drew in on an important clue, “What kind of a fungus is actually good for you?” “Mushroom!” Drew shouted.

The full video is available here and we were happy to see that two of our favorite ladies worked together to get the word out. Mushrooms needn’t be a mystery to anyone!
