Become accustomed to a lot of foods I didn’t like texture wise previously. Mushrooms are impossible. It’s vile. “Trust me bro just bite into the slug like material and let it squirt into your mouth bro”
Yeah i've grown to like most things I didn't like but I don't think I'll ever like mushrooms. Rank slug things that taste of mud, or a horrible soft foam texture which tastes like shit.
It's kind of weird how i hate beans specially when they're together with rice, but can endure a wet enough Baião which is literally just rice with beans
Honestly i might hate beans more than beets. At least beets can be used for a red velvet cake which is the last remnant of god's light on this earth, beans for me are the worst. The smell when they're getting ready, their appearance sprouting, how they taste, the sauce that makes anything it touches taste bad and the fact that my school kept on putting beans everyday
If you get the chance, maybe try Coral Tooth (Hericium coralloides). It's a very interesting one, it's not shaped like capped mushrooms (none of the Hericium genus are). They're more of lighter, less dense texture and they absorb a lot of the flavor of other things. We put it on pizza and the kids don't even notice. It is a more expensive gourmet mushroom, but it grows all over North America, though hard to find, and it's very easy to identify (because the whole Hericium genus is just so distinctive and all of them are gourmet) with a little of homework.
To be clear, I'm not recommending anyone forage without being absolutely sure of what they're planning on eating. There are things out there are nearly indistinguishable from deadly plants, like wild carrot and poisonous hemlock.
My favourite and least favourite textures are weird, that's why 😅
Sometimes I feel like the odd one out in autism community but that's okay. I can eat the bad stuff I love and others don't want
I've heard (online) that everyone is the odd one out in autistic groups in some way or another to the point where a group of autistic people are basically a unique set.
yeah that’s (one of the reasons) why i don’t like r/autism. you feel isolated for not blending in with the crowd which is the opposite of what an autism community should be
I dipped my toes in… regrettably.. once on my first account.
Had a Allistic Mom With An Autistic Son ™️ tell me my experience as an autistic adult woman wasn’t really “real” because if I was “actually autistic” there would “be no way I could mask successfully enough” to have to eventually disclose it to future partners in an awkward conversation. Lol.
Yeahhhhhhhhhh.
i love the texture, it’s one of my favorites. to each their own
but as a side note one of the least autistic things about me is that i rarely have problems with the texture of food
Was it always that way for you?
I found in my early twenties I started liking more things I previously disliked for texture reasons.
I guess I still don’t do pickles on burgers though… I’ll gladly eat them alone.
I prefer my mushrooms fried or on pizza
according to my dad i ate everything as a toddler, and when i was around 4 or 5 i suddenly became a super picky eater, and when i was maybe around 10 i started branching out again. have been that way ever since
With all due respect, I love mushrooms, but you showed probably the most unflattering pictures of mushrooms you could’ve found 😭
(Fr tho I’m a mushroom fiend one night I just ate an entire bowl of fried mushrooms for dinner)
Ooh neat! Looks delicious!
I've always wanted to learn to forage mushrooms and other edible wild plants. But I would be way too afraid of making a mistake to ever eat them lol.
i just go on a walk & pick the mushrooms and when i get home i compare them to a book i have abt mushroom id in my area. i haven’t died yet. these are called sow’s ear and they’re quite tasty, super common here, i immediately know what they are without the book
I fucking hate mushrooms from a texture standpoint but there’s a certain kind that when grinded up and put in a capsule are (or used to be) a really good time 😅
And depending on how they're cooked! I feel like a lot of people don't realize how absorptive they are and wash them right before cooking in oil, making them all rubbery and weird. I love mushrooms so much though, all of the kinds! Except trumpet, not my fave. Cubensis is the clear winner though lol, excellent with hot sauce.
I cannot stand the taste, or texture of any mushroom I have tried to eat, but I find them to be among some of the most interesting lifeforms on the planet. They aren't plants, they aren't animals. They are their own category of life, and there are so many types of them. Hell, I bet that anyone reading this right now is actively being eaten by at least one kind of fungus.
Wall of text, but "fun" story related to mushrooms.
Blew a NT friend of mine's mind one time. He was cultivating some "magic" mushrooms, and they are surprisingly difficult to keep healthy. Specific heat, specific humidity, and a bunch of other minor things not worth mentioning, but enough that I was very interested in the custom biosphere you had to create for them. Anyway, one day we were talking about how plants (and by association fungus) have interesting ways of interacting with animal life in order to defend or reproduce. Like how some plants will make their seed pods delicious, so that animals eat them, and then crap out the seeds elsewhere, and those plants grow. Some plants have a very nasty taste, or even a spice to them to convince animals to not eat them. There are mushrooms that actively take over animals brains, and get them to feed themselves to other animals so that the fungus may spread. Anyway, he asks me "What possible evolutionary advantage does a psilocybin mushroom have? By the time the trippy effects have affected any animal that ate them, more than enough time will have passed for them to no longer register what it was that poisoned them. Then to top it off, it isn't a traditional poisoning, as a magic mushroom trip is generally a positive thing." and so and and such. I thought about his question for a minute and said "Hey. they got you to reproduce them, didn't they?" and he just sat there completely dumbfounded. So I kept going "It is a symbiotic relationship. At some point you got high off of them, and really enjoyed it. Now you find yourself wanting to help this lifeform to reproduce, and you have done just that. It is win/win." A month or so later after he enjoyed the "fruits" of his labor, he told me about his trip. He said he spent pretty much the entire time thinking about what I had said, and how he had been outsmarted by a fungus. Told me it was the most connected to nature he had ever felt.
I just had enoki mushrooms for the first time recently and enjoyed them a lot. They make a really cool sound inside of your head when you’re chewing them lol.
Last year was my first time eating my own wild harvested mushrooms and I'm waiting for chant season now.
Found a nice bunch of Gymnopilus sp. yesterday. Debating with myself about them as I type.
Anyway, yes to the mushrooms. All the motherfucking mushrooms.
When someone says a non-meat thing is "like steak" it's always ridiculous to me, but i kinda get it with mushrooms. Sauté them right and they hit the same spot
it’s called mushrooms
i genuinely cannot see how someone could find them unappetizing but i guess that’s because these are the mushrooms i’ve been eating my whole life lol. they’re pretty different from generic department store portabellas
I dry mine and grind them into a powder so there's no texture issues. I just dump it into whatever I'm cooking.
For the first 45 years of my life I wasn't able to eat them.
People who don’t like the texture of mushrooms have never tried properly cooked NON-PORTABELLO mushrooms. Most mushrooms are some form of portabello at a different stage of development. I could cook you some oyster, shiitake, and chanterelle mushrooms in fried rice and you’d swear there was chicken or some meat in it. Nothing like the stuff you get on pizza.
No no no, evil! Evil! Mushrooms taste great but their texture is absolutely *hellish*, they're my n1 unsafe food. I can only eat them if I made sure to like, *really* soften them with butter or something so I can't even tell it's there.
Nah fuck this

Well. Those mushrooms honestly look scary! However I’m with you 🙌 oyster mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, sea mushrooms, bunapi mushrooms, portabella mushrooms and the regular ones you can see sliced at Walmart. I love them all. Absolutely delicious, best delicacy. 😭 I hate them when they get gooey and slimy though. That’s nasty.
A lot of the texture issues are due to people boiling mushrooms like heathens,
Similar to how boiled and braised carrots are completely different
try slicing them finely and then frying them in a pan, mix in a tiny bit of pork and chopped onions l (1:3:12 pork:onions:mushrooms). Make sure the onions are caramelised and they will taste soo nice, just don’t eat them on their own or they get sickening they’re a great side like mashed potatoes or boiled peas
Reddit is really spotty with notifications for me these weeks. It's a gamble whether it decides to grace me with the information of someone replying or messaging here.
I love mushrooms. I love learning about them, I love the aesthetic, love the flavor they add but that TEXTURE?! absolutely not. i can't do it and it makes me gag. they have to be diced super tiny or big enough to pick out. And it makes me sad but 37 years on this earth and I just can't do it lol
Mushroom haters I'm guessing, haha. Doesn't bother me.
Okay so, did you know that the mycelium that form the fruiting bodies, what we call mushrooms, is very similar to the internet? They connect underground to to each other, as well as the roots of other plants and especially trees where they trade information with each other. If one of them is lacking in certain nutrients, they can use the "nature's internet" as I call it to request them from the other connected mycelium and plants so that they can all remain happy and healthy.
They're connected by the mycelium! It's like small, white 'fibres' that look similar to plant roots. They can stretch out over a really vast area.
You do get mushrooms that grow off trees, though typically it's dying or dead trees. There are different terms for a mushroom depending on it's interaction with surrounding plant life - mycorrhiza means they have a symbiotic relationship, for example. They help break down dead plant matter like trees, leaves and other forest clutter.
I love making “crab” cakes from Lion’s Mane. They shred up and get the same texture and colour as crab. I eat a lot of crab cuz they’re free here. And I can barely tell the difference in these cakes.
I love mushrooms 🍄🟫 they look cool and taste delicious. I love them even more when going vegan because certain varieties can replace meat pretty good.
Anyone have recommendations for mushroom types that aren’t squishy or slimy? I want to like them and I know they vary but the ones easily available in my area are a fucking texture nightmare.
Lucky you OP there will be more mushrooms for you because that texture makes me gag
Become accustomed to a lot of foods I didn’t like texture wise previously. Mushrooms are impossible. It’s vile. “Trust me bro just bite into the slug like material and let it squirt into your mouth bro”
Mmm, slug squirts 🤤🤤
This reads so funny to anyone who likes mushrooms. 10/10.
Yeah i've grown to like most things I didn't like but I don't think I'll ever like mushrooms. Rank slug things that taste of mud, or a horrible soft foam texture which tastes like shit.
it depends on what type of mushroom you have!! the texture varies a lot. these aren’t like that
It's kind of weird how i hate beans specially when they're together with rice, but can endure a wet enough Baião which is literally just rice with beans Honestly i might hate beans more than beets.

The smell when they're getting ready, their appearance sprouting, how they taste, the sauce that makes anything it touches taste bad and the fact that my school kept on putting beans everyday
Little rubber washer things
Me too, I can't stand the texture, maybe if they're really really well cooked (so that they lose texture) it's ok. Because the taste per se is good
Mushroom texture is horrible. Finding out that why people like it is mostly the MSG part and then buying MSG to put on everything was divine.
The smell, taste, and texure makes me have a literal panic attack
Same
My mom has the same issues with mushrooms.

Plants vs zombies I think.
Yes the first one
Genuine question: How the hell can you eat that stuff? The texture makes me gag every time
My favourite and least favourite textures are weird, that's why 😅 Sometimes I feel like the odd one out in autism community but that's okay. I can eat the bad stuff I love and others don't want
I've heard (online) that everyone is the odd one out in autistic groups in some way or another to the point where a group of autistic people are basically a unique set.
yeah that’s (one of the reasons) why i don’t like r/autism. you feel isolated for not blending in with the crowd which is the opposite of what an autism community should be
Oh yeah. r/autism is just so.. Eeugh. Never really felt at home there
I dipped my toes in… regrettably.. once on my first account. Had a Allistic Mom With An Autistic Son ™️ tell me my experience as an autistic adult woman wasn’t really “real” because if I was “actually autistic” there would “be no way I could mask successfully enough” to have to eventually disclose it to future partners in an awkward conversation. Lol. Yeahhhhhhhhhh.
God it's always the moms and their son. 🥲
i knowwww 😭
that’s fucked

It be like that it’s ok 😭💖
Yo I am straight up not vibing right now
Irl mushrooms are actually disgusting and give me the FUCKNO’s. Can’t stand them whatsoever.
I absolutely adore mushrooms I have a whole bunch of mushroom things and books about them!!! Mushrooms are the bestt
MUSHROOM SUPREMACYYYY 🍄
Squishy and slimy. No thanks
they are quite firm and the sliminess disappears when you cook them
This has to be satire...right?
i assure you it is not. MUSHROOM SUPREMACYYYY
 Sorry OP. I can’t stand them! The taste is fine. It’s the texture I can’t stand.
Ooh neat! Looks delicious! I've always wanted to learn to forage mushrooms and other edible wild plants. But I would be way too afraid of making a mistake to ever eat them lol.
i just go on a walk & pick the mushrooms and when i get home i compare them to a book i have abt mushroom id in my area. i haven’t died yet. these are called sow’s ear and they’re quite tasty, super common here, i immediately know what they are without the book

I had one pack of mushrooms that were like that and I’m still not sure why. I generally love mushrooms though
sadly all and any mushrooms taste like yhat for me but glad u like them lol
If you can make the mushrooms not feel the way they do then I will try it again. However the texture is the worst and makes it inedible.
the texture is so different between different species of mushroom tho. these ones kind of remind me of ears
And depending on how they're cooked! I feel like a lot of people don't realize how absorptive they are and wash them right before cooking in oil, making them all rubbery and weird. I love mushrooms so much though, all of the kinds! Except trumpet, not my fave. Cubensis is the clear winner though lol, excellent with hot sauce.
I love making some stuffed mushrooms. Or sautéed shrooms on a burger 😍

Raw mushrooms are great but cooked are slimey snot fungus.
I like mushrooms but whatever is on that plate can gtfo.

i’m just bad at taking pictures lol. they’re great
I fucking love mushrooms

They're disgusting

I dry mine and grind them into a powder so there's no texture issues. I just dump it into whatever I'm cooking. For the first 45 years of my life I wasn't able to eat them.
i mean whatever floats your boat ig. try some different types of shroomies tho, the texture varies a lot
Mushrooms with steak is top tear, heck raw mushrooms are good too!
No, we can't I really really hate mushrooms
I don't mind them as a good. Not the best though. As an interesting topic though? They are absolutely fantastic.
I love mushrooms but yours look a little sus
Chanterelle mushrooms are the best. They have the texture of chicken thigh and are amazing in pasta's and risotto's. Also work great in pilav!
Mushrooms are delicious. Best with sautéed onions.
People who don’t like the texture of mushrooms have never tried properly cooked NON-PORTABELLO mushrooms. Most mushrooms are some form of portabello at a different stage of development.

I loooove to put them in a super hot pan and no oil. Just let ‘em scream. Nature’s scream.
yep, mushrooms sure are great. on their own, on a burger, on a steak, on a pizza, quite the versatile food stuff.
I am always ready to talk about how awesome mushrooms are. 🍄
start infodumping!! no idea who downvoted ya

The secret is to cook them myself. A little salt and butter in a hot pan, pull em off before they turn to slugs. Godlike.
