I do too... except for shiitake mushrooms, which I absolutely love.

Other than that, I have yet to have a mushroom I really like. Some of them (like the white kind they put on pizza) I would rate as tolerable.

I mean thw stuff they put on pizza barely has any taste at all. At least here. It's the texture that is disgusting.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the texture either. But I can tolerate it.

Shiitake mushrooms though... nothing similar in taste or texture. They do have to be prepared by someone who knows how to prepare them right because it does take a little experience, and they're also expensive unless you want to get them dried and reconstitute them, but those aren't nearly as good.

That said, if I am in a restaurant and I see them on offer, I will order them.

Portabellos are super disgusting to me. They taste like dirt and have a mouthfeel like dirt too.

Have you tried Lion's Mane? Has a meaty texture, you might dig it.

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 2 weeks ago

I have not, but I will look into it at some point, thanks.

Lions mane and chicken of the woods. Grill em, hit em with some garlic butter and lemon pepper. Pretty dang good imo.
