My girls hated them until I made them "Stuffed Mushrooms" one day..

Just stuffed them with a "light" stuffing mix and some cheese on top; baked them and my girls ate them up...

Semper

Aaahhh! - delicious food! - I'm hungry!

Funny My girls hate regular stuffing too...yeah pecky eaters, but if I stuffed with crabmeat, they'd eat it so I am thinking of trying that.

Yep....

Pop the end pieces out and carve a little cavity..

I like using the big ones, makes for less work, but there is no reason you can't use the small ones as well...

Yeah of course! I have been picking them all my life, since I was a child with my parents in the woods!

I have taken Courses! and I always bring a great big indificiation book with me whilst collecting them in the woods!

And then I also check them once more, while I'm cleaning them at the kitchen table!

This is like some wierd nerd hobby I have! - fresh air - walking in the woods picking mushrooms

There is much controversy here. Although I love mushrooms and hope this is good advice, I'm not so sure. There has been much discussion of a cytokine storm that occurs with this virus.

Cytokine storm
When the immune system is fighting pathogens, cytokines signal immune cells such as T-cells and macrophages to travel to the site of infection. In addition, cytokines activate those cells, stimulating them to produce more cytokines. Normally, this feedback loop is kept in check by the body. However, in some instances, the reaction becomes uncontrolled, and too many immune cells are activated in a single place. The precise reason for this is not entirely understood but may be caused by an exaggerated response when the immune system encounters a new and highly pathogenic invader. Cytokine storms have potential to do significant damage to body tissues and organs.[citation needed] If a cytokine storm occurs in the lungs, for example, fluids and immune cells such as macrophages may accumulate and eventually block off the airways, potentially resulting in death.

Be careful about buying mushroom harvesting units on the internet as a lot of them seem to be scams that set up take orders then disapears with money, that's why a lot of them won't take credit cards or use a secure service. It took me a while to find one that wasn't a scam. Do research about the company before buying online.
