I thought I hated mushrooms but it turns out the most common grocery store mushroom is just the worst kind. Crimini/button/portabello it’s all Agaricus bisporus and it sucks. Enoki mushrooms opened my eyes and so far I’ve liked every single mushroom I’ve tried that isn’t that dogshit A bisporus rubbery mud.
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.
Don’t know about portabellos. Not sure the same mushrooms even grow here as where you are. We mostly eat ones we pick outselves. I never liked going mushroom picking.
Thank god I absolutely hate the taste and texture of mushrooms.

I guess. But I don’t think my family ever had bought mushrooms apart from shiitake and truffles. All the rest were hand picked in the forest.
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.

Have you tried Lion’s Mane? Has a meaty texture, you might dig it.
I have not, but I will look into it at some point, thanks.
have you tried Pleurotus? It’s texture and taste is quite similar but relatively weaker.
It grows on wood like shiitake.
I have not. Thanks.
