When one says the word “mushroom” it might provoke various thoughts. Psychedelic dreams. Fantasy and fairy tales. Tiny homes for whimsical creatures. A meat substitute for vegans and vegetarians.
My first experience tasting a mushroom was when my husband (myfiancé at the time) prepared dinner for me. Steak with mushroom gravy. That was over 40 years. But from that day forward, I didn’t need convincing to make mushrooms a part of my diet. But in case you do, perhaps this health article by Popular Science will persuade you. “4 reasons you should eat more mushrooms”.
Before meeting my husband, I avoided mushrooms for two reasons.
~Number 1: My mother never used them in any of her recipes. Mom didn’t cook them. (???) Maybe they don’t taste good. (O.o)
~Number 2: The way people describe mushrooms. Fungus.mToadstool. They don’t make the mushroom sound appetizing or visually appealing.
However, many cooks and chefs use mushroom as the main ingredient in their recipes. Foodies are happy to share photos of amazing dishes where mushrooms are the star of the show. As for being visually appealing, mushrooms are quite beautiful. Artists often use them to illustrate fantasies. Nature photographers go insane! They capture incredible pics just roaming through the woods or the fields.
Sharing my collection of mushrooms in food, art, and photography. I really like the heart art. Hope you like all of them. Enjoy!

It’s amazing to see different types of mushroom. Though I don’t know how to cook, I also love to eat foods with mushrooms. It is also great on pizza.
One of my favorite pizza toppings, I also like mushroom risotto, very popular here. ?
I love mushrooms in salads and I also like stuffed mushrooms.
I have loved mushrooms since I was little. My mom used them all the time! My wife and I both love mushrooms but our TWINS hate them!
TWINS? Oh, how fun! I’m curious. Girls? Boys? Boy and Girl? Most of my kids are grown up now. But they all like mushrooms. Especially in spaghetti sauce or gravy for turkey.
identical mirror twins (male). One is left handed, the other is right-handed. They actually turn 21 in a few days.
Incredible! My friend who had twins also had boys who grew up to be jazz musicians.
Twins are hard when they are young and much easier when they get to school age.
Mine are still working through what they will be when they move out of the house!
