Growing up vegetarian, I was accustomed to eating a plethora of fruits and vegetables. Still, there are some that I never really appreciated until becoming an adult. I know that’s the case with kids and most vegetables—but mushrooms aren’t most vegetables. Unique in texture and taste and even leading their own flavor category, they are truly special.

For vegetarians or those taking on a plant-based diet, mushrooms can be an amazing alternative to meat. With a chewy texture that rivals steak and chicken, it gives dishes a hearty feel. Their earthy taste also adds a deep savory element to anything they’re served on or with. But best of all, the world of mushrooms is diverse, filled with a spectrum of flavors, from sweet and juicy to rich and buttery.

Put simply, mushrooms are versatile vegetables that can be the main attraction or play a supporting role. The choice is up to you, and for those who love mushrooms, there’s no wrong answer. There are lots of ways to enjoy these tasty morsels, but to narrow the scope, we’ve gathered three of the best below.
