Mushrooms are food from the gods.

Really? Info?

She had a fungal infection in her sinus that grew into her brain.

Now, I use this as an excuse to not eat mushrooms (don't like the texture). My friend says I should eat more mushrooms out of revenge.

We love them in all forms. My adult son won't touch them, even to the point of not eating yummy truffle fries.

Sauteed in butter with Maldon salt, pepper, garlic, pinch of herbs du Provence and a dash of Worcestershire, deglazed with red wine, finished with a little more butter - and poured over a really good steak. That is one favorite. There are more.

I recently read an article saying that a huge multi-decade study has showed a 40% reduction in cancer (not type-specific) among people who ate 8oz a week of mushrooms.
I put them in many meals that I cook.

I’d rather look at them than eat them.

I agree!  They taste great, and some are actually excellent for your immune system!

I grow my own shiitakes!

Turkey tail mushrooms have been shown to have some pretty significant health benefits, along with lions mane.  Best part is that they are found in most of the country.

I love mushrooms as well. I bought a blend like the one in the OP and it was good but one of the mushrooms had a almost fishy flavor. I couldnt really figure out which it was because i sautéed them all together. They were fresh too so it wasnt from it being bad.

I usually prefer shiitakes though.

Try as I might I never liked them.....It's sort of like liver and onions.....Smells great cooking but that's about it.

I bet I've gathered untold bushels of morels over the years while turkey hunting in the spring but I might have gagged down one or two to just see if I had developed a taste for them. I tried yet again this year....Nope.

I even carry a soft net bag with me so the spores can be redistributed tied to the small hunting pack I carry.

My wife made me watch that new mushroom documentary on netflix this weekend.  It was interesting and had some great time lapsed shots.  But it appeared there was some heavy “special” mushroom use by the folks in the video long term.

Yeah, it was a portion of it for sure, but that said the documentary was just trying to cater to several different demographics.  Environmentalists, health nuts, dirt dorks (such as myself) and hippies.  I think it was just trying to touch on all the bases it could.

Easily my favorite mushroom!  Morales may be a bit tastier, but the sheer bulk of maitake puts it in a class of its own.  On large cluster could last me a whole week.  Pan fried with a bit of butter, salt and garlic

I've been thinking of possibly drying and pulverizing them (or dusting em into a broth or something)
to throw into come capsules for ingestion during the other seasons when they're not fruiting.

Unfortunately I find once dried maitake doesn't really rehydrate all that well.  Same goes for most mushrooms ime

Love them. Lots of shroom farms in my area so they’re fairly inexpensive.

I like mushroom in soup. If you go an Asian supermarket, they usually have 4 or 5 kinds at least in the produce section. There are the shitakes, the buttons, the enokis, oysters etc. I like cloud ears, it has a rather crunchy texture. I recommend that you cook all of this stuff. I boil mine in a soup with miso, tofu, carrots, celery, onions, and other veggies that I find in the 'fridge and at the end put in sliced beef that is barely cooked(you can still see a faint pink). I use Swenson's chicken broth.

I don't forage for this stuff because I don't trust myself, IF you eat the wrong kind, you could suffer severe organ damage and/or die.

I have eaten buttons raw, but most of the time my buttons are sautéed in butter, olive oil etc.

ETA/Downtrodden: The Asians dried shitake mushrooms all of the time, you can buy them at the herb store, they are ~$10/lb or so, for the cheap stuff, and they go up from there. The more expensive ones are hand selected for size and shape, but for me I usually slice them up and use them in soup etc.
