They are a good diet food because you can eat all the raw mushrooms you
want and get almost no nutrition in them. There is some potassium in
them, a minimal amount of Vitamin C and B6, a trace of Magnesium and
calcium. The need some sort of fat to cook them in and you probably get
more nutrition from that than the mushrooms themselves. Hell, you would
probably glean more tradition from the shit they use to grow the mushrooms.

AND! What's that taste that Cindy made me look up? I'm going to look it
up again. "Terrior" ain't it. "Umami" ain't it. Petrichor? Geosim?
Take over for me, Cindy. I'm getting old, quick. :(

The curious thing about mushrooms is that as nutritionally vacant as they are, they can act as a substitute for meat. That's what I use on my vegetarian pizza.

 I've heard over the years some people grill large portobello mushroom caps in place of hamburgers.

Damn, that's news to me!  When did your Majesty hear that?
Maybe you can sneak around near your neighbors to see if they are cooking mushrooms. It would be a welcome break from your bird pics.
