    These are really interesting baskets. Every detail I see of your Hideaway mod makes me more and more interested in it.

    I'm having a great time looking at all of the related images.

    Huh, that's quite surprising to know, but it does, indeed, make sense. Annnnd, guess I don't need to worry, since I only ever eat mushrooms when they seem suitable for a particular recipe (maybe I don't love them as much as I claim, huh?).

    That being said, thanks for sharing your knowledge with me (and for the recipe as well)! I've always liked to put shrooms in burgers, but that recipe is definitely a fresh take on the good 'ole combo!

    They look good. On an unrelated note, I love eating mushrooms...they're so soft and squishy, especially when they're sauteed in a delicious sauce.

      I do too (as a vegetarian).

      That said, I have some friends who are really nerdy about mushrooms, and they've told me that a lot of the common mushrooms we eat have a surprising amount of pollutants/heavy metals.

      It doesn't seem to matter where you get them from; whether it's freely picked in the forest, organic variants, or bottom-of -the-barrel-price-wise mushrooms from sketchy corner-stores.

      It seems like a consequence of how mushrooms work. They can grow without light, have a very porous structure, and seem to thrive in spots very few other greenery survives.

      It's something to keep in mind if you eat a lot of mushrooms. The general sentiment seems to be that mushrooms are always "healthy" and a great dietary source of protein/vitamins/carbs, but very little is said about their negatives.

      Though, it kinda makes sense that a species that can thrive in the harshest of climates could be carriers for substances that human physiology aren't built to handle.

      I think the general tip is one "serving" (basically two cupped hands) a week. The biggest problem with mushrooms are their capacity to accumulate lead.

      It's less important to adults than children to consider lead-intake, but while the adult body seem be capable of cleaning it out to some degree, the deleterious effects of lead-intake is so serious that it always warrants severe caution.

      That said, this is the best mushroom-recipe I know. You can make burger-patties or meatballs with it (thought it doesn't hold for open-fire skewers, but a simple patty-shape works well).

      The meatball-shape works really well for a soft taco filling. It's the best meat-like recipe I know, and is my go-to recipe when I make food for people who are emotionally attached to meat in a juvenile way (and feel the need to make a big spiel about it):
