I accidently ate one once, and never forgot the consistency - it just wasn’t “right”. Octopus has a gross consistency (rubbery, and with suckers on it), and even that was more acceptable than mushrooms.
Eating mushrooms (in my closed mind) would be as unnatural as eating a rock. No logic to it...
Ahh.
I have people say the same thing about scotch and cognac....
Which makes me think “Gee, I ain’t drank since last week. It’s Saturday.
Why not?”.
I’ll fix that.
