What's Your Mushroom Personality Type?

When foraging for mushrooms, I’m on the hunt for:

The most unusual fungal find and undiscovered species
The most beautiful fungal species that could be a centerpiece or work of art
The most succulent and flavorful variety to compliment tonight’s dish
I don’t forage; I shop

Growing my own mushrooms may be useful for:

Adding complexity and dimension to the beautiful landscape of my garden
Nourishing the soil to yield nutrient-dense plants and vegetables
Tinctures, teas and salves
Is there anything mushrooms AREN’T useful for?

When cooking, I most often incorporate mushrooms as:

Sparingly as possible
To enhance the complexity of the flavor of the main course
Creatively as I can - in cocktails, sauces, even desert! If you can eat it, I can put a mushroom in it.
The main course

Mushrooms are:

Nature’s solution for our environment
Nature’s answer to medicine
Nature’s fungal flower
Nature’s most delicious flavor

A fantastic fungi treat is:

A coffee table book of exotic and beautiful ‘shrooms
A basket of culinary delights
A grow-your-own starter kit
A book on the medicinal uses of mycelium

Let's get fungi.
