I personally like to keep a well stocked spice cabinet of a wide range so I can throw together whatever on the fly

Trader Joe's Mushroom Umami seasoning, usually buy two at a time to make sure there's always some on hand. I am actually looking into possibly growing and drying my own mushrooms because of how much I love this stuff.

Besides that, I love having a basil plant to pluck fresh greens from as a finisher. I should probably expand my fresh herb garden... Just basil and mint (for drinks) at the moment.

Keep us updated on the mushroom growing! I have a basement that is probably well suited to this, and I would also like to get into it.

Oooo that looks nice, I'll have to pickup some next time I'm in the city that has a trader Joe's lol

Does it have a strong mushroomy taste? Or can it slip by for people who don't like mushrooms? I love mushrooms but I can hardly cook with it because my kids hate them 😭

Only if you add quite a lot, otherwise it's subtle. I put it on literally almost everything savory, like an all purpose flavor enhancer. Could use it to slow roll over time an appreciation for wonderful mushroom flavors :D

Good lol that's what I'm hoping for, I'm not entirely sure if it's the taste they hate or the texture, but this sounds like it'll be a good way to both tell which ones it is and if it is the taste something to get them used to it overtime lmao
