After 25-ish years of being a hater, I now fully embrace the mushroom.
But I woiud NEVER pick my own.
Even Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall says if you're not sure, don't pick.
But in Siena (Italy) I did have an omlette with "freshly picked mushrooms" (fresco funghi).
It was extraordinary. I have no idea if or how I could ever replicate the taste. And this was just a sidestreet cafe.
In fact I had it more than once
