let the cooking debates begin!

jeff does not like mushrooms. his other fine qualities make up for this character flaw, so i forgive him. however, i have just discovered that *both* of my planned dinners for tonight are designed to be made with mushrooms. the stroganoff can be made without. it is sad, but true. however, i haven't made beef bourguignon before and at least one recipe calls for 12 oz. that's a whole lot of mass to ignore. what is the best substitute for mushrooms in terms of mass, texture and that 'magic something' that is added to the dish?

trying to reply to shayna's thread but something is going wonky. :)

but you can warm up chicken for starving frogs and toads and you can bake very yummy frog cookies!

making chicken nuggets doesn't count as cooking (fewer than three steps required). baking, for some odd reason, does not count as cooking either.
