    It’s not an attack, but I will never understand how mushrooms can be appealing to people. I will never be able to grasp it. To me, mushrooms are grotesque and the desire I see in people to eat them is the equivalent of craving spoiled food. The flavor is not enough to counter the texture triggering my gag reflex.

    Yeah, yeah. We all have different tastes and stuff. It’s just a hard thing to wrap my head around.

      Fungus in general is incredibly alien. It’s not a plant, it’s not an animal, it’s… something outside of our traditional understanding.

      Quite reasonable to be put off them, I love eating mushrooms but they’re… creepy…
