Their rich, meaty flavor isn’t the only reason to eat them regularly.
Nutritionally speaking, mushrooms are in a class of their own.
As members of the fungi kingdom, mushrooms contain forms of fiber that most other plants don’t have, along with high levels of antioxidants. And fun fact: They’re one of the few foods that can produce vitamin D.

Here’s our mushroom thread for recipes & more:
The amount of oil I use to fry them probably outweighs any health benefit.
Mushroom omelette for breakfast this morning. Mushrooms on toast for last Sunday’s breakfast.
Do you always use oil? I find that butter or a mix of ghee and butter produces more flavorful results. If you like the flavor of butter/ghee, that is.
Mushroom quesadilla for me two meals in a row.
They are pretty miraculous, so I doubt your oil is negating too much of that, unless you’re deep frying them 
I use butter combined with either olive or avocado oil, to sauté shrooms. Once in a while I use ghee.
As long as some fat is involved. I tried the dry-fry method (à la SE? can’t remember now) once or twice & wasn’t a fan. I prefer to start them in a hot pan with just a little fat, then salt to draw out moisture and cover the pan so they release their juices. They basically briefly ‘braise’ in their own flavorful liquor while soaking some of it again. A little more fat for flavah & browning, et voilà.
Now Ima hafta sauté some shrooms again soon. Been a hot minute 
I saw one youtuber dry his (foraged) mushrooms in a food dehydrator, then crush them into a powder and sprinkle it on (basically) everything.
I wonder if the mushroom retains all (or even most) of its nutritional value (when its dried)??
Yes, there are a ton of supplements and teas available that use dehydrated mushrooms, and many cultures dry mushrooms for year-round use as well.
Mushrooms are very healthy. They turn anything they touch into something I won’t eat
mushrooms on pizza equals diet pizza. No calories cause I’m not eating it
Try dry frying.
No. Sometimes I use an oil/butter mix. Other times just butter.
