plump spongy mushrooms like the common white button are great because of how versatile they are.

they're unoffensive raw, they're good steamed, they're good sauteed for short, medium, or long periods of time; and their flavour and texture changes significantly each step of the way. they're amazing shallow or deep fried as well.

slice some of those up and sautee in oil or butter until they *almost* lose all their water, and then rehydrate them with a quick spill of light soy sauce and you have yourself an amazing snack.

or just wash them fresh and dip in ranch, also delishes

taste isnt super strong so they act as a flavour spronge

Might as well live in a lead lined room free of sunlight and electronics, too. Additionally, go organic grown vegan and stop eating meat of any kind.

Because it's the cheapest, I bough some as low as $2/kg. Cremini mushroom is much better unless you want to eat salads.
>>
>>20430781
because they're delicious, cheap and delicious. Oh did I mention they're delicious? Cause they're delicious.

We tried that all the way up until the 80s. Not exactly healthy.

This. They're like tofu or a mild fish in that they're primarily a delivery mechanism for other flavors.

This is the only kind of mushroom you can easily industrialy produce. We call it Parisian mushroom in France.


But the best mushroom are girolles.

I have a theory that 90% of people have very limited ability to taste. And 10% like me taste everything.
In short, people have no palate.

Actually a big problem in democratic societies. People should be seeking partners that are stable and dependable, not partners who look like fun dates.

ANYWAY, real answer is that its easy to produce. corpos dont care about you at all or think about you as human. if these werent easy to make they wouldnt be made. I work at a mushroom plant that grows maitake, trumpets, all sorts of fantastic mushers. We produce dried maitake in bags that retail for $300 and cost almost nothing to make.

We keep trying lions mane and morells but they are simply too hard so we dont bother.

Which is it

>>20430781
You want them grown in caves and as fresh as can be. Then they're heavenly. They're a waste of money otherwise.
>>
>>20435212
we do test runs once a year for both on larger scales. we are always trying to get them going i substrate in the lab in small batches. morrels are always a failure, lions manes have limited runs

Why do Chinese shiitake mushrooms stink so badly? In the past, I got them by mistake and thought they had expired or gotten contaminated somehow, but I just picked up some from a market that I know only has fresh produce, and these things smell just as bad. I've bought shiitake mushrooms before, but apparently the Chinese have a variety that smells like fucking feet.

Taste aside, all mushroom should be cooked to remove toxic chemicals. White button mushrooms in particular contain high amounts of agaritine, which is a carcinogen.

So why don't you share with the class your definition of "vegetable."

>>20435422

because they're fertilized using pig shit, no hyperbolism

Welcome to Chinese food products, Anon. Wait until you learn about their melamine "milk" and cardboard "pork" buns.

Also, a few months ago two people died and a bunch more got severely ill because a restaurant in Montana served morels grown in China.

Have you considered going to the annual mushroom conference to discuss with experts and visit panels about what you might be doing wrong.

Lies. Taste sense comes back.

Yeah, I've seen pics of their industrial morel farms, not exactly bueno considering the environment out there. It can be done at home at scale, but few people bother.

>Between March 28 and April 17, 2023, over 50 individuals reported becoming sick with gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms after eating at Dave’s Sushi in Bozeman, MT. As previously reported, two of these individuals died and three were hospitalized.
I think if you go to a place called "dave's sushi" you deserve to die

They're cheap and versatile. Also your body can't fully digest mushrooms so it's a great diet food as well.

>>20430781
I'm not a fan of mushrooms in general, for the same reason I'm not a fan of avocado and butternut squash. They're slimy and weird, especially once they're cooked.
>>
>>20435436
They're a fungus, which is a completely different kingdom.

morell of the story:

They're boring because they're popular, not the other way around.

>Why?
Because it is tasty.

I dare guess you're finn

>>20430781
they're dirt cheap and taste good, you know like every other extremely popular food. no point forking over 10$ for some lion's mane just to make gravy
