    Aren’t mushrooms nutritionally barely a step above grass? Doesn’t seem worth the risk.

      Mushrooms are actually incredibly good for you. They are one of the cleanest sources of protein you can get and actually have many incredible health effects. Also, they are fucking delicious. Here’s a good link to learn more. 🍄 https://youtu.be/KEa8W0OneH4

      Sure, but if I only cared about nutrition I would get that all in pill form, and then get my calories through fats and oils to have a perfectly balanced diet.

      Mushrooms taste good and that is reason enough to want to eat them.

      This is wrong…

      Mushrooms are a nutritious food all around.

        A lot of people only ever try the boring white ones and get their flavour from other places. They have no fucking idea!

          I have to wonder how many of those “I hate mushrooms” people would change their tune if they had a well-cooked king oyster or lion’s mane.

            Just the thought of lions mane, fried up in a little butter with some garlic, makes me salivate. An iconic mushroom, seafood of the trees, and it makes my brain feel good too. Last fall we found a hiking trail that was littered with trees growing it. Took a bunch (still left plenty for others) and dehydrated and powdered it. Whenever I’m making a soup or sauce, I throw a spoonful in and it absolutely transforms the dish.

            God, I FUCKING love lions mane.

            I love me some lions mane mushrooms. Lucky for me, I get them growing in my yard in large patches. And there are morel’s and chicken of the woods in the surrounding forest.

      I’ve heard a lot of health benefits from mushrooms like Lion’s Mane. Mainly, mushrooms you won’t find at your supermarket.
