I was anti mushroom until my late 20s. “Taste like earth, feel like slime” was my stance. The thing that turned me was slow frying big oyster mushrooms in butter over a camp stove overlooking a stunning, deserted valley down to the sea on the Gower. I was doing it as a favour to my then girlfriend, now wife, but as soon as they were ready to go in her bacon sarnie I knew just from looking at them I’d love them. I spent the next few weeks gorging on any mushroom I could find that wouldn’t kill me and the enlightened me still harbours self loathing for all those years saying no to them.
