I absolutely love all things mushrooms, particularly exploring all the edible varieties I can find and trying them! Thing is, I live in the city and am the only one in my house who eats mushrooms (no one else likes having them in the house, let alone on a plate!) so I was wondering if anyone had any advice for 1) where to find a variety of mushrooms (I mostly see Portobello and cremini) and 2) any good ways to cook or prepare mushrooms for just one person? I typically just fry them up in a skillet or add them into a stir fry after I’ve made everyone else’s plates.

I hope this doesn’t break any rules! I couldn’t find anything on the side bar about what types of posts are allowed. If it does, could someone be kind enough to point me to another place to post this?

Oh! Dehydrated mushrooms rehydrate and cook like normal? I use dehydrated mushrooms for soup stocks often in the winter, I had no idea I could cook them! What a waste! I do manage to sneak in mushrooms here and there, but I could eat just like a whole pan of mushrooms all on my own! Always makes me a little sad to hide them away.

Regarding growing mushrooms, how do you prevent other unwelcome guests? I’m in the PNW so mold is a big concern
