Don't Dismiss the Mushroom

Mushrooms don't have many frills, 
but they seat frogs and they have gills,
so, I don't dismiss them out of haste,
especially considering their taste.

Jan Allison Date: 8/5/2025 11:05:00 AM Just had cheesy mushrooms on toast for my tea - am glad I got them from tesco and we arent in Aus and no one foraged for them and cooked them for my tea! hugs Jan xx Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/5/2025 1:23:00 PM I just sautee the mushrooms with some dried parsley and black pepper then and stir in 1/3 box soft cheese (like Philadelphia but tesco own brand lol) and serve on toast - mmm its lush x David Crandall Date: 8/5/2025 12:47:00 PM Wow, that sounds pretty good. Cheese, mushrooms, and toast - what could be better? Maybe, add some onion and hot peppers...and avocado. I think I know that story you're talking about -lol...yep, gotta be careful with mushrooms. I know people who forage for them, and it would make me nervous - you need to know which is which.
