what does /ck/ think of them?

I've hated most mushrooms all my life. Is there a way to start liking them or is it a genetic thing like cilantro? The only ones I do like are uncooked button mushrooms and maybe oyster.

>Tried all kinds shitake, button cooked, portabella and more
>Cooked various ways, grilling or sauteed
>They all tasted meh like bad dirt
>Friend is a mushroom hunter and sells chanterelles
>Gives me a pound and say It will change anyone's mind about mushrooms
>I sautee in salt, olive oil, and butter
>Taste is mediocre but i wouldn't pay money for it
>Throw the rest away but tell him I shared it because it's $30/lb

I'm not a picky eater too.
