I love mushrooms but I am always suspicious of them. The last several times I had portobellos I felt there was a weird taste. I now eat oyster mushrooms as a vegan meaty substitute because I'm here in Mexico and they are reasonably priced but they look so beautiful, it makes me slightly uncomfortable.

Great post thanks.

So what mushrooms should you eat?
I know someone who's brother owns a mushroom farm and he doesn't eat mushroom... Maybe because they're grown in poo.

The best mushrooms to eat are lion's mane, maitake, and shiitake, with chaga & reishi being great for making teas. There are plenty of others that are healthy as well like oyster, lobster, morel, chantrel, etc.

Most mushrooms are not grown on waste, only a few are actually.

That was an interesting post. I had no idea button and portobello mushrooms were the same. It's also good to know that they're not safe to eat raw, because I much prefer them cooked!

Yep, exact same fungus :-) Sometimes our personal tastes already know what we need to do/not do to protect ourselves it seems like.

A very useful article. Thank you so much for sharing this information. I have been eating raw mushrooms, but I will not eat raw mushrooms any longer, and will definitely try to get the organic ones when I do buy mushrooms. I was not aware at all of the tumor risks of certain mushrooms, and appreciate the cooking recommendations provided in the article.

You're very welcome!

I LIKE ORGANIC MUSHROOMS AND THESE HAVE GOOD TASTE AND CANNOT BE STORED AFTER A DAY... THEIR LIFE EITHER ON SOIL OR IN REFRIGERATOR IS ONE OR TWO DAYS.... DURING RAINY SEASON THESE COME OUT FROM SOIL...

Wonderful post brother, I was wondering if you were going to ever put it up ;-P

Thanks brother! It definitely got lost in the tornado a bit, but I did it haha.

wonderful article ,i like it so much

That's interesting, When I am cooking with mushrooms I always have a nibble of raw mushroom, not sure I will do now

It's all about quantity, and most of what I read said that tiny amounts will not really have an effect.

Phew That's good, I only have a little, still think I will give them a miss now :)

Great post! Thanks for sharing.

I love mushrooms; but, after this post will take a few minutes to sauté them in a little butter, or as my favorite…roast them until they take on the flavor of bacon.

Again, many thanks.

Peace.

I heard this podcast too and was wondering the same. Thanks for checking!
Those mushrooms suck anyways. If you're reading this and don't like mushrooms it's probably 'cause your eating portobellos or criminis. Never understood why they include the white ones at salad bars. Especially since they are raw and bad for you. Morels, chanterelle, lions mane: worth checking out.

Ya, it is funny how the most popular mushrooms are some of the least flavorful, least beneficial, worst textured, haha! I really love Shiitake as well, and things like Chaga & Reishi that are so good for drinks.

Great article , I will be sharing this on my social media for more people to read.

Thanks! It's always so wonderful when someone discovers an old post, especially since Steemit is such a new-or-forget-it place.

Love the new info, I had wondered about the history of these store bought shrooms. Totally agree - only buy organic as they absorb absolutely everything which is why they are so amazing and nutrient dense. I love picking wild morels and matsutake. These little power-houses are mineral dense and really add satiation factor to any green leafy meal!
Thanks for the info about the common grocery forages.

OMG ty for sharing this.

love 'shrooms, but raw are gross :P

Wow thanks for this
