Today is national Day of the Mushroom day. Even mushrooms get their own special day.
These are locally grown mushrooms from a San Diego area farmer’s market.
I never used to be a big mushroom lover growing up, but times have changed.
I’m definitely a fungi fan now.
My mom isn’t fond of ‘shrooms and she rarely made anything with them, and I wasn’t exposed to them much, but I’ve changed that.
I eat them on salads, use them in stir frys, use them in casseroles, and eat them by themselves.
Sometimes I have a handful of grapes, other times a handful of baby portobellos.
Like tempeh, I can eat mushrooms, whole, plain, raw, and just as they are.
Adding mushrooms to the tempeh and cucumber sticks sounds like a good idea and they’d be something else I could dip in the balsamic reduction. Dipping sauce and wondering what I’m going to dip next is always front and center and on my mind.
Marinated and softened via the marinade, these Sweet & Sour Marinated Mushrooms are great on sandwiches with other veggies, over salads, or tossed into the final minutes of a stir fry.

I absolutely adore mushrooms and that last picture is making my mouth water!
MMMMMM. Yes to mushrooms. I’ve become a bit of a snob, though. Giant portabellas and smaller crimini are my faves. I *heart* mushrooms on pizza and in a spinach, black bean, mushroom enchilada recipe I make.
I was just commenting to my husband yesterday about how much I enjoy portabello mushrooms! My mom doesn’t like mushrooms so I really didn’t have them until I was an adult. Funny that today is national mushroom day – as a transplanted Bostonian, I always think of it as Marathon Day!
I love mushrooms, especially when cooked and paired with thyme and some sort of cheese/cream cheese. So delicious!
MUSHROOMS. ARE. MY. HEART.
I love mushrooms! Especially when they’re paired with onions. My favorite way to eat them is in portobello mushroom burgers – so delicious!
I love mushrooms! One of my favorite recipes with mushrooms is spaghetti with truffle butter and mushrooms :) https://www.confessionsofachocoholic.com/pasta/spaghetti-with-truffle-butter-and-mushrooms
I think I’m in the minority, but I HATE mushrooms! They are a fungus, not a food. Blech. I hated being a vegetarian as a kid because even though I hated meat, the vegetarian options would always have a ton of mushrooms wherever we went. Just as bad. GROSS! My husband looooves them though so I often have to smell them being cooked. ew.
Ooh mushrooms are my FAVOURITE! I love love love em. I can’t wait to try your sweet and sour recipe, looks delish.
I am a big mushroom fan, my favorite way to eat the is sautted with lots of sweet onions!
I’m big on the mushrooms! Those sweet n sour shrooms sound delish.
I love mushrooms! I prefer them raw in a salad, but they taste good so many ways. Little black canvases that you can transform into just about any flavor you want! The texture is so meaty, which is perfect on a sandwich or in pasta. I love fungi. heh :)
Wow, what a haul! I do like mushrooms but only if they are cooked, and served with other veggies. We grill veggies a lot and I love them combined with squash, peppers, onions, broccoli, etc. I just have a hard time eating them by themselves.
Yum. Love mushrooms. And that sandwich has my name all over it. Of course, it is right about lunchtime now ;-)
i know a slew of people who DESPISE mushrooms, but i just can’t get enough! i love portobello mushroom burgers. simply sauteing mushrooms and putting them over a salad or sandwich is the best. I love them on pizza too. Yay for fungii!
