Also if you don’t like mushrooms because of the texture,

I think mushrooms get a bad rap. People talk about the dirt they’re in being grown in feces, like it’s any different than every other crop that’s grown. Potatoes are grown up close and personal in soil too and soil isn’t clean :)

We might find there’s a flavor component like cilantro that some can taste. Or maybe they just don’t like the idea of the grown in soil and hard to clean, or maybe they don’t like that we’re eating the repuductive organs.

my brother-in-law hates them, but loves my mashed potato dish that loaded down. I just reduce mushrooms, garlic, and onions in butter until they’re about to start to get firm then blitz them to slightly chunky gravy, stir that back into refrigerated looosely smashed potatoes, with some soft butter and a little chicken bone broth. When i’m done the flavor is still there, but it’s a background note to the potato/butter/chicken
