I put some red pepper on my white-mushroom pizza.

I think the red pepper was a little too veggy, or fruity, for my meaty
mushrooms.

Is black pepper better for accentuating the meaty-ness of mushrooms?

I'm a little confused. By red pepper... Do you mean bell pepper? Hot
pepper? Peppercorns? By black pepper do you mean peppercorns?

It's all a moot point to me anyway because I don't like mushrooms on pizza.

I put some crushed red pepper on spaghetti the other day, didn't really like
it... I vote for black peppercorn.

Crushed red pepper (medium/hot, California Style, Penzey's)

Either's OK. For favor without heat try green pepper.

Anyone who has eaten a pizza knows what crushed red pepper is, but WTF
makes it "California style"?

Lots of peppers are green and hot. Do you mean green bell pepper?

Black peper is usually put on meats and pasta.

To accentuate and not drown, use black ground pepper corns and if you
want a hint of heat, use paprika (hot sweet hungarian)

I think Penzey's generally uses the word "California" to describe spices
that are less hot and more sweet. They also sell the sweet California
paprika.

I was using black pepper the other day; and about a half minute after
grinding the pepper, I sneezed the biggest sneeze of my life... I thought
that when they blow pepper in someone's face in cartoons it was just a myth,
but apparently it's true!

Too much of a good thing can be bad, I guess.

The subject was crushed, red pepper - so nobody knows.

I use ground cayenne on almost everything, very mild and
doesn't get in the way those crushed (or is it flaked) red peppers
do. I never liked them, I find them intrusive. To each their own. I
have come here asking questions and I will do it again, so never will
I laugh at someone for asking a question - BUT - I think that with
trial and error and sufficient time a true mushroom lover should be
able to determine which seasoning if any might best serve their
precious blooming fungi.

Eat 'em raw, cook 'em too - then pepper 'em up and start to chew
Was that pepper black or was it red?
By God I'll find out before I am dead

I don't think anybody mentioned white pepper.
