The thing is too that mushrooms don’t even cook like vegetables or even like a protein or anything. So not only are they not botanically vegetables, they aren’t even culinarily vegetables either.
Also if you don’t like mushrooms because of the texture, you’re probably cooking your mushrooms wrong.
Is that just the normal ones you find at the grocery store, or have you tried other types? I think oyster mushrooms are really good when you fry them until they are crispy. Lion’s mane is really good too, I like to make vegan pulled pork with them. The flavor of some foraged ones are also amazing like chantarell and black trumpets. Chicken of the woods also tastes and kinda feels like lemony dry chicken. There’s soooo many great mushrooms
Have tried all the ones you mentioned and many more over my years, I grew up amongst old world hippies, have eaten many a mushroom, wish I had the taste for them, just don’t really. Some are def better than others, but overall I find them very meh

I just think mushrooms taste like shit, meh at best, not a texture thing.
I mean there’s only hundreds of them, you have tried them all right?
It’s like saying I don’t like all meat because you dislike snake jerky.

Morels are pretty good too. My grandma used to deep fry them.
