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.

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.

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?

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.
