- "הפטרייה לא טעימה."

Mate, you wanna see my Hebrew typing. I'm forever confusing י with ו and having to tripe-check what I've written. Slán agat!
Mushrooms are nice little guys. אני לא רוצה לאכול פיטרייה. Is that correct?
Wouldn't it be"The mushroom is not tasty" rather than "The mushroom is not delicious"? & What's the difference in it ( when does it mean tasty & when does it mean delicious) if any
I love learning about the connections between languages, like Hebrew and Arabic. תודה / شكرا
What crazy world is Duolingo where olives are tasty and mushrooms are not?! :-p
I wonder is this is the follow up sentence that was removed Mazzorano mentioned for אני פטרייה

I believe the mushrooms can help to fight with a cancer. Or prevent it. Of course only those which are edible.
In the negative I would never use the word tasty when talking about food, mushrooms or any other. I would say the food is not good, or the food is bad.

I'd be careful about using good and bad when you're actually talking about flavor, which is what the Hebrew sentence is talking about. For food, bad can have to do with whether something has spoiled and might make you sick, as opposed to something that just wasn't seasoned well or was overcooked, for example, and lost its flavor. And the good and bad can also pertain to nutritional value. The other day I tried a new brand of frozen pizza. (Some are really quite tasty.) But this one just was not appealing . I used exactly this word: "This pizza just isn't tasty. Not awful, just seasoned oddly." I wouldn't say "It's not good," as if something was dangerous about it. But I might say it doesn't have a good flavor or even texture, as in "The crust is too hard or too doughy."
Is this the equivalent of saying, "The mushroom doesn't taste good," or, "The mushroom tastes bad?"
