Fake sugar is a crime.

Fake sugar is a necessity for diabetics.

I finally found the picture from an old phone suck off about a year or so ago.
To go back in topics slightly.
Growing mushrooms, these are a batch of oyster mushrooms I grew in a closet.
Eazy peazy to do and taste great. They will go forever too, ie if you take care they will go and go and go, no need to replant etc, just every once in a while add new substrate, which can be straw, wood chips, even a roll of toilet paper ! and the mycelium will go.

Yes, I know. I actually have a sugar free thing going on rn since I'm on keto. I just wish that most of these fake sugars nowadays weren't worse for you than real sugar.

You can dry those out in a fridge and they last a long time, I freeze dry mine, i want to make sure there is no moisture in them, seal them up and they last years. Add some warm water and they taste like the day you picked them.

Sadly that seems to be the way of most things, the 'artificial' the 'its better for you' crap is actually way worse.

Fake butter - margarine, causes worse health than the butter did
Fake sugar - splenda, and all the other named goops, chemical voo doo
fake eggs, just YUCK, we won't go any further than that.

I didn't have to do anything to get mine. They started on their own on a dead elm tree.

Do you marinate the hearts? I usually slow cook the hearts to tenderize, but a nice vinegar based marinade is nice and helpful. Slathered in mustard for a day is good also.

Maybe I've cooked hearts wrong in the past. We tried chicken hearts once, but they were bitter and I didn't care for them.

yes they absolutely WILL. THey are very prolific and easy to keep. If you KNOW your shrooms then have at them of course, but and I can't say this enough.

Unless you are a certified EXPERT at mushrooms, do NOT just go picking stuff and eating it because you think it looks edible. I bought my shroom stock because I wanted tobe absolutely sure it was pure before i started chowing on it.

Right now I have a tote of oak chips outside, im hoping when it gets a bit cooler out, some shitake's will pop out of some innoculated logs, oysters out of top layer of cardboard and rice straw, and maybe lions mane, this one is actually a wild one I am trying to transplant, but we'll see how that goes.

I know mushrooms have a lot of medicinal qualities, etc etc, and to be honest I barely scratched the surface on that aspect of them, that's another HUGE rabbit hole, I just love their flavor on foods, and it's all part of my self sustainability thing im currently on.
