It's not an attack, but I will never understand how mushrooms can be appealing to people. I will never be able to grasp it. To me, mushrooms are grotesque and the desire I see in people to eat them is the equivalent of craving spoiled food. The flavor is not enough to counter the texture triggering my gag reflex.

Yeah, yeah. We all have different tastes and stuff. It's just a hard thing to wrap my head around.

How do you feel about sauerkraut, kimchi, sour cream, cheese, yogurt, Worcestershire sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, tofu, tempeh, beer, wine, or dry aged meats?

As far as kinda gross foods go I'd put mushrooms pretty far down the list. People eat crazy shit all the time. Once you clean em off there's really nothing wrong with them.

Also most of the food you eat grows in actual shit.

Fungus in general is incredibly alien. It's not a plant, it's not an animal, it's.... something outside of our traditional understanding.

Quite reasonable to be put off them, I love eating mushrooms but they're... creepy...

I mean they are definitely inside our understandig. They‘re just not animals or plants, but fungi. With all the diversity we have on earth it probably make sense that we have organisms that aren‘t classified as neither animals or plants.

And it's not like we don't love other fungus. Any yeasty bread contains fungus (yeasty breads include most nonquick beads or flat breads and like cinnamon rolls or pizza crust).

Same. It's just fucking bizarre. Having said that, living by eating the corpses of other animals is also insanity, only to a smaller degree.

I felt the same until some point in high school when I realized all food ultimately grows from recycled rot, so I decided to try liking mushrooms. It was a lot easier to overcome the texture of those than of raw tomato or onion and opened up a whole new world of umami flavor. Just wash them and cook them; there's no understanding the people eating them raw...
