Live and learn!
And I was kidding of course.
You might be a little disappointed with Gerber Baby Food, then. And you should probably stay far away from Purina Cat Chow.
They need to change the name to Chunky “Garden” “Vegetable” . Unless it’s not even Chunky?
Yes and no, according to some people:
I have mushrooms growing in my garden.
Just sayin’.
May I say that a mushroom can taste delicious? Admittedly it was only the once, and they were wild mushrooms over roast beef prepared at a fine dining restaurant at an equally upscale west coast Vancouver Island hotel, but still possible.
Just a request- many of your fellow members have asked for no profanity in thread titles. Just a request. Thanks
And this is exactly why you’ve never found yourself in a situation where you felt the need to vent your bitter shame across the Internet, having allowed yourself to be duped by pretty pictures instead of exercising basic reading skills. This speaks well of you, and the USDA Mushroom Councilsurely appreciates the wisdom and prudence of your consumer habits.
As the saying goes: “It is better to read a single label than to curse the mushrooms.” Or something like that.
I thought it was “It’s better to drink a light beer than curse dark chocolate.”
That happened to me once.
Got a shot from the doctor … cleared it right up.
Consider it done heretofore! 
Apparently, the stink horn varieties of mushroom looks just like a penis. (Not edible.)
I thinkPenii and mushrooms must share a genetic fractal… An archetypical geometry of purpose.
I’ll bet statistically that more women like mushrooms than men, for freudian-jungian reasons.
Anybody ever eaten a penis? I’ve heard it described by Zimmerman and Bourdain, and it seems like a chewy version of a mushroom in texture. Is the humble mushroom the Dick of the Earth?
I got pills…
I’m gonna go ahead and make a Darwinian Evolutionary prediction. Eventually there will be a fungal “flower” of some sort that will be the grail to the mushrooms. It might not even be fungal…it might be a plant with an appropriate dynamicism or parasiticism to the mushroom. I’ll bet that it will even have a “cervix” that the head of the mushroom will activate for full sporification.
Yes, I predict there will be a mushroom pussy plant.
Those mushroom people and mushroom antromorphiztions generally creep me out. Bow down to your cute and wise, if not outright evil, fungal overlord.
Personally, I welcome my spongiform superiors. Despite the chill in my spine.
They are delicious.
Mushrooms are the most disgusting things in the entire universe. Ewww. They look like cat turds and are grown in feces. I read every label in the supermarket to eliminate hated mushrooms from my diet.
Mold and yeast, OTOH, are really cool.
I knew celery had to be bad for you! It is nasty in every form I have ever had it. Much like the OP thinks of mushrooms.
Au Contraire. How else would I stir my Bloody Mary and poke around for errant olives?
I like raw mushrooms too, but I recently heard a mycologist (I think that’s what mushroom-scientists are called?) on Science Friday on NPR say that we shouldn’t eat them. Apparently mushrooms have some chemical in them that isn’t good for you, but the cooking process renders it harmless. Foo.
I had a mushroom epiphany on my birthday this year. My family went to Chez Panisse (the cafe, not the actual restaurant) in Berkeley to celebrate and I had some kind of cheese and morel dish that was unbelievable. I have never tasted such rich and flavorful mushrooms in my life. It made me want to go mushroom hunting like Michael Pollan does in The Omnivore’s Dilemma because I don’t think you can get mushrooms like this in an ordinary grocery store.
