Not a huge mushroom person tbh.

Finely diced mushroom (using an electric chopper is good for large quantities) fried down makes for a really good meat alternative or meat extender. Even better when you add some deceptively-named mushroom seasoning:

Call me overly cautious but I don’t eat raw mushroom as I don’t like the texture, which is good because I wouldn’t anyway as some mushroom varieties contain agaratine which is mutagentic and carcinogenic.

Is it as carcinogenic as breathing while refilling a tank of gas or eating acrylamide-heavy fried food or getting some delicious benzene in that you get from many different types of soda? Idk. But it’s still not worth the risk imo.

the murican way, battered and deep fried
