@achewood I am composing a tone poem about eagles, lawnmowers, and Ted Nugent. It is composed only of the sounds of those things.

The myth is that you're supposed to clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth because rinsing them under water will make them soggy.
Oh.  Biologically speaking, that is very silly.  I'm pretty sure the packers use high-pressure water sprays to knock the worst of the goo off them.  Then they sit around until you buy them.  Whatever bacteria you have heebie-jeebies about will spend that time booming up their population.  Wiping with a damp cloth won't do much to them.  And it won't do a damn thing to any chemical residues.

running them under tap water won't do much either, best not to fret too much - but buy organic if you care

Yeah, I heard the mushroom thing on the Iron Chef mushroom battle, but it was the first I'd heard of it.  We have a huge mushroom farm locally, and the smell coming off of it... let's just say they need to be washed.  I tried the damp cloth method, but it just doesn't work as well, and honestly - most times I'm tossing mushrooms into a fairly moist situation, so I don't see why postponing their exposure to moisture by a few minutes makes any difference.

Jesus.  If mushrooms are growing down there, I'm failing at personal hygiene on a fairly basic level.  Mushrooms are the least sexy of vegetables.

I misread this and thought that this response was somehow involved in the thread about the costume of an ancient hooker.

Ain't nothing sexy about mushrooms, ain't nothin' edible about mushrooms.

Boo to mushrooms.

I can't eat any foods that would grow on a poorly-cleaned air conditioner.

Just can't. I'll admit to the fact that it's a Totally Irrational Thing, though.

Sauteed mushrooms are proof of the existence of god.

What has two thumbs and loves mushrooms?

This guy.

There is a place in Virginia with wine-sauteed mushrooms that if they sold them by the pound, I'd buy them. Mmmmmmmm

Did they still make you throw up?  I could never get my head around that part of the experience.  Throwing up a steak would just compound the injustice.
Note:  never did 'shrooms - I'm speaking from observational experience.  Those who did, seemed always to throw up = not a good time in my book.

Uh, those mushrooms are the straight kind.  I only really like them on steak, but the vegetarian thing.  It is weird that I love sauteed mushrooms on a good steak but they make me gag in nearly every way that does not include a steak.

Also, no, worthwhile mushrooms have never made me throw up, but they do make me quesy (sp?) and feel bad until they work.  It is best to not mix them with other stuff in my opinion.  Eat them quick then eat a fun size of your favorite candy bar followed by chugging a bit of water. Apparently if you throw up you will trip harder, but I think that is bullshit.  The sky literally opened up for me last time I did them, and I didn't throw up.

Mushrooms, making dirty air conditioners delicious.

With regards to those mushrooms.  They are delicious.  Grill you up a nice steak with some mushrooms and onion.  But be careful, don't go back for seconds.

I was just trying to tell jaydub that the straight kind was what I like on steak.

Right on.  Hopefully he moved to San Francisco.  Actually though, in my short time there I was offered all of the common drugs except heroin.  In my afternoon in Vegas (city of sin) I was only offered sex.  So see, drugs aren't a sin, but sex for cash is.  That is how I always felt, but now I know it is true.
