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.

 The Vegan/Vegetarian guys local to me have done that at backyard
cookouts.  Quite good!

I'm thrilled you like them.  The last thing I'm interested in is backyard cookouts with Vegan/Vegetarians.
