Since I was a child, I never really liked mushrooms. To be honest, I was extremely picky, but now, I eat anything. Well... Almost anything. I can't stand mushrooms. Except, I can't understand why, and I want to learn to love mushrooms since they're really useful as a vegetarian.

For example, yesterday, I made some pretty simple miso soup and added some, supposedly delicious shiitake mushrooms to it. I salted them and fried them at medium-high heat for a few minutes until they had a nice color and texture. Did doing that affected the taste in a bad way?

I also remember making mushrooms risotto some time ago and getting the same disgusting taste.

Am I missing something obvious here? If not, are there any recipes, or kinds of mushrooms, which would get me into liking mushrooms smoothly?

I'll try some answers on this similar Reddit question but they propose dishes which are very heavy on the mushroom flavor (risotto being one) which I think would make things worse. My only possible solution, as of now, is to add very small quantities to food regularly.

Am I missing something obvious here? Is this not how you're supposed to cook mushrooms?
