Mushrooms have glutamate like MSG, but they present differently
I find the dried mushrooms provide a nice little earthiness and funk, while the MSG is less about adding direct flavor and more about boosting the preexisting flavors that are present
You don't necessarily want to go too heavy with either, but I find that a little bit of both really makes anything savory that just more so
:shroomjak: ty i'll try those!
If you don't feel like using msg you can buy kombu (it lasts forever and you only need a little piece each time) and lightly simmer it to make a dashi you then add to the beans when they're nearly done cooking. Kombu is like msg central.
