Another type of common lawn mushroom. I was out mushroom hunting today... I think they are so unique and interesting, to look at, NOT to eat! Mushrooms in Lawn 2

I think those mushrooms...

are puff balls, well they look like them anyways. They are only edible if they are white inside, but if it were me I wouldn't even attempt to eat anything that grew in the yard. I'd rather buy them from the store from someone who knows what they are selling.

You make me laugh, Oma! I

You make me laugh, Oma! I wouldn't eat those mushrooms or any other kind for anything in the world, thank you very much. They are only a few cells removed from mold. Do you all eat MOLD? The mere site of it makes me hurl! When my rocket scientist cousin informed our family that mushrooms were only a few cells removed from full blown mold, I seized on that and have used it as an excuse not to eat them ever since!!!!!!!!!!!! They are okay to look at but I couldn't eat one to save my life!

I just love them!

Susan they are so good in just about everything, even raw. I love them! Yet I am choosy what kind that I consume. Each to their own tastes since that's what makes us so unique.

Hehehe

Oma, I once ate a sauteed portabello that my mother made...She sauteed it in lots of butter and it was okay, but the texture was still slimy. I really don't like them at all...The funny thing is that when my mom and I go to a Japanese restaurant we love in Chicago, we often order a spring roll to share. It's like an egg roll -- only it's not fried. It has all sorts of vegetables in it.....and some rice noodles and cilantro. The taste of the cilantro is pretty dominant...a taste I really like...so I will eat the spring roll -- even though it likely has a mushroom in it. In that, it is well enough concealed so that neither the taste or texture are noticeable. I'm really not a fussy eater and am generally willing to try just about anything. For some reason, mushrooms just make me want to gag. I suppose if someone gave me a really nice German dark beer and had me drink that, I might over look the taste and texture of mushrooms....but they are really the only food that I truly dislike.

Thanks, and thank Goodness!...I'm so glad I'm not the only one with a fascination for fungi!

Did I get that right?

You don't like to eat them? I thought you LOVED mushrooms!!!!!!!!! They are fungus, you know............they are merely a few cells removed from full blown mold. Does that entice you to want to eat them? Not me! YUCK!

Nope

I LOVE to hunt them and admire them! I'm not one to pick apart foods to see if they're in there, like my sis does. But, you won't catch me ordering a portabella burger either. Something about the texture, eeek!
