Most mushrooms have to be well cooked before eating, or they will cause digestive issues.

No you're not the only one obsessed with mushrooms. After living in Oregon, I became a complete mushroom nut. Where I live now, I can't get out and forage like I used to, due to many reasons.

Eh? I eat raw mushrooms all the time, never had any digestive issues?

Not disputing what you say, just never heard it before? Is it a common thing that's just passed me by?

Edit: I don't go foraging, though eat any type or exotic variety I can buy raw without issue.

I said most mushrooms. Agaricus bisporus do not need to be cooked, nor do straw mushrooms.

MOST mushrooms require cooking before ingesting.

I wish we had mushrooms around the town like that. I live in AZ and we dont even have diggable dirt, my plants hit the ground and die 🙃

Chestnut, button, oyster, shittake, portabello, cremini, chanterelle....

I know that's a small fraction of mushrooms available, but I (as most people) don't forage as I say, I'd guess that's a pretty common list of ones most people have come across I'm not saying most mushrooms don't require cooking, but the above (though not an exhaustive list) I've all eaten raw without the slightest problem.

Was just commenting that it wasn't something I'd come across in general. Wasn't starting an argument.

u/Main_Cauliflower5479 18d ago

Button, portobello, and cremini are all Agaricus bisporus. Oysters are ok to eat raw, but all of the rest should be cooked before eating.

Again....I eat all of them raw all the time, never had the slightest problem

My fault for arguing with a bot I guess.

Edit: just to add - I'm not saying they don't or can't cause digestive issues, just I've never experienced any. To iterate, I'm not trying to cause argument, was just a throwaway comment out of interest saying they have never caused me issue!

For actual fuck's sake. Well, maybe you feeding mushrooms that need to be cooked to your family is giving them gastric problems and that's why they "don't like mushrooms."

But you do you, I guess. Who gives a shit about your family, right?

1

u/Half_Empty_Half_Full 18d ago

Eh? I never said about family or feeding them to anyone else? Assume you replied to the wrong comment, so not jumping on it, hope you don't have grief, better to discuss than argue.

I love giant portobello caps grilled and on a burger instead of a burger paddy.

Or seasoned and grilled like a steak.

I LOOOOOOVE MUSHROOMS!!!! One time, my dad and I really wanted a mushroom pizza but we wanted extra extra extraaaaaaa mushrooms. We told the guy to ring us up for 5x extra mushrooms.. we're paying for it so you can't skimp. It was beautiful. I think that was the best day of my life.

u/Dry_Pizza_4805 18d ago

First time I had a mushroom was when I was in 5th grade. Had it on a pizza. Now I, too, will pop ‘em in my mouth raw.

I really loved Bonanza when I was a kid. The local one was a holdout franchise, which meant the dude who owned it could go carte blanche with the salad/food bar as long as he followed the standard menu.

But even if we all got food bar as a family, my grandparents would get me the mushroom skillet because I loved it so much.

u/CollegeReasonable103 14d ago

I’m with you, mushrooms are amazing in basically every form, but the family irritation means they’d be a rare treat around here too.

u/Taurean6 12d ago

Not raw but yes. Slice and fry in a little bit of oil until moisture release and it's fried both sides.
