Near the end of every float, the cooks get mushroom-happy. Sliced mushrooms are included in almost every dish, even if it's wildly inappropriate. I have two theories on the reason for this behavior:
(1) The Navy cooking manual consideres mushrooms a vegatable. Mushrooms keep better than other vegatables. So having used up all the stuff that perishes, they're just substituting mushrooms for whichever veggies the recepie originally called for.
(2) The food storage rooms are belowdecks. There's no light down there. So we didn't set sail with mushrooms... they grew while we've been out.

Hmm, I go with option 2.
Because in my experiance mushroom don't keep as well as many other veggies. (Except, of course, canned mushrooms, but that applyes to canned any other veggy too!)

My theory is:
(3) The cooks don't like mushrooms, but whoever orders the food does. But by the end of the float they've pretty much run out of everything else, so they have to use the mushrooms.
But I do like theory 2.
