I like mushrooms on toast, with a little grated cheese on top, and toasted under the grill until brown and bubbling. Lovely.

Oh, yes, lovely! smile I'm a wimp when it comes to foraging. My mother used to dispose of the mushrooms I brought home from the fields, in case any were dangerous, and I'm afraid I did the same to the box full DH presented me with the other day. There were some very odd shapes and colours in there, and he has been asking about my life assurance provision.... grin

Mushrooms (fried in butter with a little garlic and herbs) on toast used to be one of my favourite lunches, but I've had to give up eating mushrooms as they play havoc with my insides sad. DH goes out foraging for mushrooms at this time of year - a couple of weeks ago he came back with loads. These days he has to eat them all himself, but he's not complaining grin

Hurray! We are not the only ones, then. anno - our mushrooms were supermarket picked, too. The older I get the more I appreciate the help of Messrs Sainsbury, Morrison, Tesco and Waitrose.
PS I like marmite on the toast under my mushrooms.

For lunch today - sliced mushrooms (picked in Waitrose) sautéed with garlic and served on buttered toast. Yum!

Love creamy mushrooms on toast- but normally home picked wild mushrooms at this time of year. Went for bit mushroom foray today- and it's been far too dry lately and found nothing. If I have a small 'catch' will mix with bought 'Paris' mushrooms. Must have a little cream and a good crush of pepper and herbs.

Only with scrambled egg - very nice!

Isn't vegetarian meat substitute made from fungus?
Oh! Just googled it - mixed with egg albumen apparently, so would not be suitable for vegans hmm

DH loves mushrooms on toast for breakfast so I have mine on a slice of gluten free....Topped with a rasher of bacon grin

I have made and eaten it on occasion, but it's not exactly sustaining. No protein. Now, with a rasher or two of bacon....

Yes! Particularly at this time of year. Swished around in a pan of butter, with some salt and pepper. My Mum used to make it, too. smile

Yes! One of my favourite things for breakfast or lunch.

I happened to mention yesterday that DH and I had made fried mushrooms on toast for our lunch. This is a normal dish for us, one both our mothers produced occasionally, but the friends we were speaking to expressed amazement as they'd never heard of such a thing. Do other GN-ers eat mushrooms on toast?
