I tried truffles once and that came closer to tasting the way ants smell than regular mushrooms. As you said, more metallic, sharper and more “alien.” People seem to like truffle a lot, I guess I will save money in my life by not having that indulgence.
That’s about the closest descriptor I can think of as well. Ants are more metallic to my scent than mushies but that’s it.

I haven’t tried truffles.
Funnily enough I like mushrooms. The smell of ants never used to bother me that much either; finding out it’s selective is intriguing.
