I don't trust mushrooms!! Does anyone feel the same about mushrooms??!
Answers: I have always hated mushrooms just by the way they looked ,i was afraid of them, seriously i think mushrooms are evil. Me and my friend made a pizza she put some mushrooms in my side with out me knowing.. after i ate it i told her that was the best pizza i ever ate .....now im so scared that im going to be sick or somthing because of the mushroom,??? will i be okay?
Mushrooms you buy at the store are perfectly safe. They are cultivated for cooking and eating. You don't have to worry about poisonous mushrooms if you buy your mushrooms from a market.
You'll be just fine. I'm sure your friend used store-bought mushrooms and did not go out into her back yard and pick toadstools (poison mushrooms).
I stay away from the ones growing out in the yard but the ones from the store are OK.
There really aren't that many mushrooms that will actually harm you. Most of them just taste like the stuff they grow in.
The fact that you sat down and typed out this question indicates that you are all right.
If you really can't stand the things, and your friend keeps insisting you eat them, then don't eat with your friend.
Commercially grown mushrooms are completely safe to eat. The mushroom industry banks on their procedures to ensure that safety. The mushroom spores(seeds) are processed in a sterile environment. The growing compost is pasteurized before the spores are added. After the crop is harvested, the mushroom "house" is sterilized before the next crop is started. Picking and eating wild mushrooms is best left for members of The Mycological Society.
Portabello's are the best!
Get over it drama queen. Did you get sick ? No. So now you know mushrooms taste good. They are healthy too. Thet go great in lots and lots of recipes. Enjoy.
