Quoting David Aurora's book Mushrooms Demystified (generally regarded as the mushroom bible):
>"...in general their nutritive value compares favorably to that of most vegetables. They are rich in vitamin B... vitamin D and vitamin K. Some are also high in vitamin A...and a few...contain vitamin C. Mushrooms are also rich in minerals such as iron and copper..."

so there's gotta be something good in 'em

>>9110517
I wish we could have objective arguments about this but unfortunately a lot of the time it seems to come from people who like using drugs, which is fine because it can be good in its own way if used properly, but want to justify it in a silly way. It's like with people saying the "kaneh bosm" used in biblical anointing oils is proof that it's okay to smoke pot because famous religious figures used it to get high, but the oil they're talking about was poured over the head and not consumed.

I dunno, but I sure do love 'em. You can marinade mushes with meat, stick 'em in a stew, grill them up with some other veggies, etc.

About as useful in cooking as onions, but you don't have to worry about using too much of it 'cause the flavor is so mellow.

shrooms is why people live is cold shitholes

Is that a Death Cap the fox is eating?!??!

Is that Ashens?

>>9113808
aminitas muscaria
not a death cap

>>9113808
No, it's Aminita Muscaria. It's widely believed to be deadly poisonous to humans, but actually that's a misconception. A small nibble on it has a drug like effect that varies from person to person.

Death cap is more of a whiteish, greenish color, but also is in the same family as this mushroom (it's also an Aminita)

>>9114046
Depends on the method of cooking. If you're steaming them and cooking them in a sauce, sure, they'll maintain texture reasonably well.
If you're frying them, they'll burn to a crisp just like anything else if overcooked. The reason for this is loss of moisture. If you're using a cooking method that maintains the water content, then the mushroom's cell wall is fairly thermostable and will hold up well. However, water still evaporates because its water, and you can reduce it to fused carbon in a frying pan easily.

>>9110528
How would you be able to even prove that theory? Are mushrooms able to be preserved as long as cave paintings? I love hallucinogenics as much as the next guy, but I feel like there is more solid evidence backing other theories as to why man began doing creative things. Art seems more like a byproduct of creative problem solving than of drugs.

>>9114012

you're almost there, but make a savory french toast batter that has scallions and a little soy sauce in it, sautee mushrooms, soft egg, probably some parmesan cheese, drizzle of maple syrup, and maybe pickled mushrooms is a better way to eat mushrooms

>>9114075
>soy sauce
>maple syrup

Congrats, you've overwhelmed the flavor of the mushrooms. At that point you might as well dump the whole thing into tomato sauce.

Most mushrooms have a very subtle flavor. Adding too much miscellaneous shit defeats the purpose. You do you though.

>>9114080
I do agree that his recipe sounds fucked, I'm never going to combine soy and maple, but my favourite thing about mushrooms is that they take on the flavour of the things I'm adding. Sure I like an earthy risotto but I'm still infusing those little fungus bitches with the garlic shallot and whatever

>>9114143
>but my favourite thing about mushrooms is that they take on the flavour of the things I'm adding.

My general attitude towards these kinds of things is: if you think it tastes good, go for it. I'm sure as shit not going to tell you what to do with your own food. But I do think that people are too quick to mask mushrooms with as many strong flavors as they can manage. I think if you've never experienced the apricot-like spice of fresh chanterelles, or the fresh seafood-taste of hericium erinaceus, well... it's a shame to miss out on it. Sometimes, simplicity is king.

I couldn't stop sweating and I got stuck in some kind of endless fractal time loop and right when I got to the end and thought it was over it would restart. Then I thought god was in my left eye and the evil was in my right and they were fighting over my soul, ended up taking a shower fully clothed while they worked out their differences.

all the cool kids are doing it, anon. But yeah, they're not edible. They just look neat.

>>9115082
Well yeah, you can compare them and find that they really have nothing to do with each other. The main toxins in muscaria are muscarine (the compound that makes you sweat and salivate uncontrollably and makes things very unpleasant) and muscimol (the psychoactive compound). The levels of each vary wildly from mushroom to mushroom, and might even reach fatal levels if you're unlucky.

shit, I've been found out

The secret to get a good crisp on the mushrooms is to fry them just past the point where they've lost most of their water. They don't brown properly until they've lost most of their moisture, and a lot of people stop cooking them too early and end up with a soggy mess. So be patient. Those particular chanterelles I picked the day they were cooked, so they were pretty fresh. And delicious. Pic related.

Interesting thing about the legality of Psilocybin containing species: it is a felony to possess substances containing psilocin/psilocybin; this includes the tissues of mature psilocybe mushrooms. However, the spores of these species don't contain the illegal drug compound, thus making them legal.
