Is it normal that i can't eat mushrooms anymore because of this?

I used to like mushrooms in my salads, but lately I've been unable to stop my association of the texture of the mushroom with a dog's nose. It makes me feel like I'm chewing on a clean dog's nose. It both disgusts me and makes me feel like an animal abuser even though I know it's not actually the nose of a dog.

    The texture is a bit off putting. I used to love mushrooms. All kinds of mushrooms...til the one day back in 1999. I got a stomach virus and the last thing I ate before puking my brains out was a portobello mushroom sandwich. Quite possibly one of the worst things ever imaginable to barf back up. I only started very slowly reintroducing mushies back into my diet maybe two years ago and I've only had them a handful of times. But I'm still scared and scarred. Baby steps.

      Peanuts. My husband puked up peanuts all over the bathroom once when he was ill. Guess who cleaned it up? Neither of us really care to eat them anymore.

    No it is not normal. You have allowed the irrational fear to take precedence of the rational. You would probably be best served by speaking to a psychiatrist as your irrational fears are probably not uncommon and this "dog nose" incident is probably one of the more debilitating issues you have come across. if this is untreated- your fears will become greater, they will begin to overwhelm you and significantly negatively effect your life. Please get help and good mental health.

    Sounds like an OCD thing to me.

    I love edible fungus of all types.

    I put edible in there as an afterthought because I know one of you sick Bastards would suggest eating candida.
