The Problem of Mushrooms
I made soup out of my jack-o-lantern. Pumpkin, lentils, potato, lemongrass, nutmeg, cumin (just a little), mushrooms, rice, milk, and onion - very tasty and filling! But also very ugly.
I have this problem whereby cooking with mushrooms (admittedly not the freshest ones available, since I buy from the “reduced for quick sale” cart) results in a sludgy dark gray color. The taste is fine but I want my food to be pretty, too - any hints?

Sometimes they’ll turn a soup purple! (Well, purple-ish.)
The only thing I can think of is to saute them first, and add relatively late in the process.

Food coloring!!!
Tasteless, and your soup can come in almost any color you like. Just darkish colors you like. Yeah!
