I used to refuse to eat mushrooms well until I was in college and then I got them at a steak house and was like wow what have I been missing all my life?! I like them as a side dish or give me a bacon Swiss mushroom burger…to die for. I don’t think I’ve ever had on pizza though but I’m pretty plain Jane when it comes to pizza. 

I really like mushrooms. The only people I know who really dislike them are vegetarians, which always perplexes me.

I love mushrooms I always but them on my pizza. But my bf hates them and always questions why I like 'fungus' on my pizza lol 

I’ve always loved mushrooms in the same way as you and eat them in pasta, on pizza, with steak, etc. It would be very rare for me to turn down mushrooms.

Sometimes I think it’s a mental block for people. They’ve had them prepared one way that they didn’t like, and never tried again. 

omg THANK YOUUUUUU!!!! Someone had to say it. Honestly, mushrooms are one of my favorite foods in anything.

I think it depends on context. A nice, creamy mushroom dish? YUM. Mushrooms on a pizza? Unnecessary. The taste is not enough to fundamentally change a dish if it’s not central to it, and they can be a bit rubbery if made poorly. 

1 — badly cooked mushrooms are really really bad. Slimy, rubbery, distusting.

2 — mushrooms are really easy to screw up. They overcook easily, seasoning them is hard, etc

Put those together and i think you get a lot of people having nasty first, formative fungus experiences. And they never get the courage to try em again!

I have that same question!!! I like them but my mom never lets me eat too much because she says they can make you sick 😂 

I don't know who needs to hear this but I think we should all bless our palate and eat some mushrooms! Not the psychedelic kind before y'all start lol.. but the ones that you use for cooking and eating. There was a period of time that I couldn't fully enjoy eating dishes with mushrooms in it because I thought I was allergic. Long story short, my mom was allergic to them and thought that if she was allergic to something it would be passed down to me.. And that was not the case, LORD I wish somebody would have talked some sense into her. I actually found out that I wasn't allergic because my dad accidentally ordered a pepperoni and mushroom pizza... He started freaking out because I ate 3 slices but I felt fine! I also discovered my love for mushrooms and from that point on me and mushrooms have been tight ever since. 

I include it in my pasta dishes, I order them as a pizza topping, I will put it over chicken, or sautee them and eat it as a side dish. I will literally put it on any and everything.. Well not everything but most things.

If you are not a fan of mushrooms I would love to hear why, hopefully my story might change your mind..

Why does everyone hate mushrooms?
