I've always been curious about people eating mushrooms. Here in Spain (at least in Catalonia where I live) we eat a lot of mushrooms, usually with meat or egg, is this a common practice in western cuisines?

don't know, but mushrooms can make almost anything better and have a high protein/calory ratio so I always try to include them in my meals

I dont think we have a huge mushroom eating culture here (mostly because it seems that Americans only eat the standard common white mushroom). But otherwise, meat/shroom omlettes are a thing

It is common in many countries. The French love truffles. Germans and Brits also eat mushrooms.
However in the Nordic countries you had a period where yo should not eat too many mushrooms since they concentrated (heavy) metals from the soil, specifically radioisotopes after Chernobyl went boom.

They're best raw, though you cannot digest them properly (they just taste better).
>>8164643
they are heterotrophs. They can't photosynthesis.
>all my friends think mushrooms and people who eat them are gross
I don't understand, they're so tasty and interesting.

I don't know what they're called but I picked up a carton of mushrooms and fried them in butter. They were a little cluster of small whitish brown mushrooms. Like 20 of them in a cluster. So delicious.

There is still a problem with sheep and reindeer becoming radioactive when grazing on lichen containing fungal matter that concentrates radioisotopes.
Joke was that thanks to radioactivity the entire reindeer were glowing in the dark.
