    Mushrooms first.

    They take way longer to soften than onions take to go translucent.

    But also, onions can be overcooked. They can dissolve into mush. Meantime, mushrooms being a fungus and not a plant, is made of chitin. It’s basically indestructible, so they can hold out a lot longer.

      I also do mushrooms first, but my understanding is that it’s very hard to overcook onions. It takes like 45 minutes just to properly caramelize them
