Have you eaten a fungi? Well, a mushroom is a fungi. I like to eat mushrooms. They have delicious taste. I mix them in spaghetti, meat, pizza, and soups. They have health benefits too. They are rich in vitamin C, contain phosphorous, iron, and potassium. They also prevent cancers. Most of all they make your food tastier.:-) What do you think of edible mushrooms mylotters?

You should try buying those "grow your own mushroom kits" Mushrooms are more delicious when fresh. I started growing my own mushrooms at my small apartment. Oyster and button mushrooms, grows fast and you can harvest them in few weeks, while shitake mushrooms may take some patience because it will take 7 months before t grow, but once they started growing, you wll have monthly supply of mushroom for 5 years.

In my situation, mushrooms and sprouts are the easiest veggies to grow, as they dont really need much space, plus in case of sprouts they get harvested in just few days, they grow fast. I just try to be resourceful wit what i have available.

Hi Capt., That is great wherein you grow your own mushrooms. Actually, in our yard the common mushrooms grow from time to time and we harvest them. We mix them in soup with vegetables. It is really delicious. However, this time the mushrooms are not visible. I think I should buy that "grow your own mushroom kits." Thanks for this. Have a nice day!

I like mushrooms too. Most especially shitake mushrooms they're so tasty and flavory and so awesome I love them. :D I love them mixed with Chinese food or tofu. With any kind of recipe with tofu it's great. I've never heard it put on pizza or spaghetti but o think it would be good on spaghetti too but I'm not so sure.

Haha! Ok! Thanks for this, shitake mushrooms are quite pricey so I wouldn't want to spend money just to experiment on them. Haha!! Thanks again! I will try it. :D

I am not a fan of mushrooms. I have never liked them and I don't even put them in any recipe. I can still taste it if it's in a sauce or something and I don't like it.

Some people really don't like mushrooms. It has healthy benefits like preventing cancer. You try eating it at times. It is healthy. :-)

Almost all of my meals that I make I start with onion, garlic and mushrooms. I made a rice dish with shrimp, onions, garlic and sugar snap peas tonight and after it was all ready I remembered that I had forgotten the mushrooms. I ordinarily use mushrooms and keep a package in the refrigerator at all times. I love to saute onions and mushrooms and use them on hamburgers. Don't put them in soups much as the other vegetables seem to just overwhelm them.

I got the idea from a Taste Of Home Magazine. They do have a website if you want to look around at their recipes.

I am picking mushrooms in woods since I am a kid, and I eat about 30 different sort of wild mushrooms, including some amanitae -- Caesar's agaric is my preferred mushroom -- and lepioteae -- they have a delicious taste of hazelnut -- that people are generally too afraid to pick. I think I like more to get them in nature during a walk than to eat them, and I give a lot of them to my friends every year -- all are still alive --. I like to eat them alone, cooked in a frying pan with olive oil, garlic and parsley, in omelets, etc. Some of them -- morels, horns of plenty -- are also perfect in a sauce.

I love mushrooms. When I was young I was trained to sort the edible from the poisonous ones. We would gather seasonally and and each meal would include mushroom with it's aromatic soup.

I can eat some edible mushrooms as I know they are healthy food, but my daughter doesn't like it at all, she hates it, if I put some mushroom in the dish she will say," mum , I don't like this dish at all, as you put some mushrooms in it." I don't know why she doesn't like it.
