^ Fried rice has NO mushrooms! People don't add mushrooms to food for flavor! Just for substance! So that you think theres more food...but you're not getting full on shrooms! You just think you are :hmm:

Asta!!

merlot mushrooms own me sorry dude

Au Contraire, on just about all counts. My fried rice generally has at least two, sometimes as many as five different kinds of mushrooms. While some (Chunked Portabella, f'rinstance) are there largely for texture, enoki is there for texture and presentation, and oysters, cloud ears, button and straw are there for flavor. You see, the problem is that there is no English word for the flavor of a mushroom. The Japanese word is <i>umami</i> and, along with salt, sweet, bitter, and sour, is one of the basic tastes. It's the taste of bullion without salt. In English, since we have no concept of the taste, we almost always perceive and describe it as a texture. It ain't.

Something to haunt your dreams, then...

Am I the only one that noticed this one looks like a fucking brain?! Thats the evil head brain mushroom thats behind all of this! I will stop him at all costs! Wheres my flame thrower?! :mad:

Asta!!

^ that darling is a giant puffball, medicinal as well as tasty!! Respect your brethren 'shrooms good sirs! As Tophat665 has stated so eloquently, and I paraphrase: the slippery fuckers are delicious!
Who said they have no nutritional value?? Their polysaccarides are a boon to anticancer treatments worlwide! The maitake is one of the best for you as well as being lovely to eat.
By the way, I have some rare truffle gruyere, but I don't know what to do w/ it. Not so tasty for a fungus in my book. :(

I must side with these so called good mushrooms and rise up to destroy the evil brain mushroom!

Asta!!

i mushroom almost escaped me once, but i caught him, then ate him

^ Destroy them!

Asta!!

Destroy them? They may have something to say about that, bucko.
