Date: July 30, 2008 06:41PM What mushrooms do you eat raw? All of them? Why do some "nutritional experts" advise against eating mushrooms raw?
Just curious! TIA, Mary Kay Re: Mushrooms ...Do you eat them raw?

Date: July 30, 2008 08:11PM I eat portabellas, criminis, shiitakes, maitakes, "hen in the woods", and any other ones I find. Mushrooms can exacerbate yeast problems that are already present in the body. I had yeast problems until I went raw and cut out sweet fruit for a while. I also took a lot of probiotics and raw garlic to help kill the yeast. Haven't had a problem in months, though yeast infections used to be a common problem for me.

Date: July 30, 2008 09:41PM I always ate a wide variety of mushrooms, rinsed and raw while transitioning. I don't think you'll have a problem should you CHOOSE to eat these as food.

Date: August 01, 2008 01:51AM I stopped eating mushrooms when I became raw as I heard they cause cancer. The life is in the seed. The mushroom is a spore and there is not seed. It is also a fungus.
Just my thoughts. Therese Re: Mushrooms ...Do you eat them raw?

Date: August 01, 2008 05:28PM I would advise extreme caution when eating any wild gathered mushroom raw since judgments on their edibility almost always have been made in the cooked state. Come to think of it, the same goes for cultivated ones. Cooking breaks down many of poisons. Wild mushrooms are an extremely variable group with great variations in toxicity from region to region. A professor of mycology at the local university almost died from mushroom poisoning. Overall I think it is best to avoid all mushrooms (wild and cultivated) raw, at least in any great quantity.
If you live on the west coast Mushrooms Demystified by David Arora is a good guide to the wild mushroom. Avoid any mushroom with white gills like death, because it might be. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
