What sorts have you tried? Or what specific species rather. There are all kinds of edible fungi out there, in many different shapes, forms, and tastes. I like the majority of the known edibles that I have tried.

Also, maybe try looking up a whole lot of very different recipes using mushrooms, maybe you just need to prepare them in a certain way that works with your taste preference. Everyone has different taste inclinations (different preferance determined by a mixture of how Sweet, Sour, Bitter and/or Salty the flavour is, i think thats how it goes anyway), so you just have to find one which makes mushrooms work with your taste, everyone is different.

I'm interested in trying oysters and shiitake...if you cook with some oil and salt and veggies, you should have a chicken stand-in.

I've tried several kinds of mushrooms, including Oysters, Shiitaki, and the white button mushrooms. I hate the texture, it tastes like flesh but it isn't!....I'm wanting to try dehydrated morels, those might be interesting.

Hmm well maybe you should try something with a more meaty texture to it. Perhaps some white pored chicken of the woods or hericium. Those two are among my favorites - not only do I enjoy the taste, but they also have positive health benefits. As far as gilled mushrooms go, the texture can be pretty much similar while the taste varies. I like them also, but they are very different from other forms of edible fungi.

I hated mushrooms until an older friend of mine that is a pro chef told me he would cook them for me. I'm not even sure what kind he used but he sauteed them in this sauce and I have been opened minded since. You probably just need to find a great chef and challenge him to make you like them. Other wise your screwed :P

Try them with soy sauce, little lemon juice, and some pepper.
