They’re pretty commonly disliked.

IsThisLifeNow · 01/12/2025 22:15

Nope, love them, especially deep fried in breadcrumbs with a tiny bit of pate in them!

IamSmarticus · 01/12/2025 22:15

I'll have yours - I love them!

Hate them!! And most especially mushroom soup!

Coffeeblanketandabookplz · 01/12/2025 22:16

I love them, however I cant think too much about what they are while eating them or it puts me off. Same goes for eggs 🥚

DramaAlpaca · 01/12/2025 22:16

I adore them, they're delicious.

DH is with you on mushroom soup though, the thought of it makes him heave. He's weird.

yeesh · 01/12/2025 22:17

They smell like death to me💀

ShrimpBoil · 01/12/2025 22:19

I've got mushroom soup for lunch tomorrow! I love them.

Koolandorthegang · 01/12/2025 22:20

They are so slimy. I once saw someone bite into a breaded mushroom and all this watery stuff oozed out of it. Gross

sammylady37 · 01/12/2025 22:24

Me! They are repulsive. I hate everything about them, smell, taste, texture. Vile.

SilenceInside · 01/12/2025 22:27

Me. Texture is all wrong, the smell is not appealing and the grey colour…. Mushroom soup and mushroom risotto give me the ick. Can’t eat them at all. They smell and taste like a rotting forest floor.

SabreIsMyFave · 01/12/2025 22:28

What are they?

FUNGUS! 🍄

I love them, but only well-cooked and in something/on something, like a pie, or a pizza.

DH would pass out if one touched his lips or tongue! HE HATES THEM! 😱

Terrifying though to think that some of them can kill you if you eat them!

I'm gonna sound a bit thick saying this, but I wonder how people know which ones are - and aren't - poinsonous! 💀

YES!!!! they are the devils food!!!!

Merrow · 01/12/2025 22:30

I can't stand them. I hate the texture, I hate the smell, I hate how they look all slimy. I don't understand why they are so prevalent in vegetarian food.

hydrangeadangerea · 01/12/2025 22:32

Absolutely vile things!

Netcurtainnelly · 01/12/2025 22:35

I was away recently they served them up on the breakfast plate uurgh.

What have mushrooms done, poor things!

Ponderingwindow · 01/12/2025 22:39

I hated them growing up. I was only exposed to mushrooms from a jar though. Those things are slimy and disgusting. I still won’t touch them.

Once I got to be an adult and discovered fresh mushrooms I was hooked. I will plan an entire dinner just because the store had an interesting mushroom in that day and I had to try it.

Georgiepud · 01/12/2025 22:40

I was fine with mushrooms until I read the revolting comments on here!

I've been turned off just by reading and imagining now.

Friendlyfart · 01/12/2025 22:40

i do like them on pizza, in pasta sauce but not on their own (ie part of a cooked breakfast). I wouldn’t eat something like stroganoff either.

pashmina696 · 01/12/2025 22:40

Yes - detest them - absolutely won’t eat them - makes life challenging as a vegetarian - everything about them is wrong- colour, texture, taste… saw a vegetarian society survey once and a large number of vegetarians don’t like them.

mondaytosunday · 01/12/2025 22:43

LOVE them, though I recently tried garlic mushrooms from Tesco? Waitrose? And they were 🤢, slimy. But cook them dry and properly and they are great. Very low calorie too!

Same. Love eggs but can’t begin to think about what an egg actually is!
Love love love mushrooms. If I was vegetarian everything would be mushroom.
Mushroom risotto
Mushroom soup
Mushrooms on toast
Pasta with Mushroom's
Mushroom Bhaji
Just mushroom everything……. 🍄‍🟫🍄

PandoraSocks · 01/12/2025 22:45

I love them! They are so good for you.

JDM625 · 01/12/2025 22:45

Love them in all forms.
