Are mushrooms bad or good for you?
Answers:
GOOD! During the past 50 years, several major advancements in medicine came from lower organisms such as molds, yeast, and mushrooms (fungi). The first antibiotics were extracted from fungi. Penicillin, tetracyclene and aureomycin, derived from molds, were hailed as a wonder drug for infections and communicable diseases. Mushrooms are valuable health food - low in calories, high in vegetable proteins, chitin, iron, zinc, fiber, essential amino acids, vitamins & minerals. Mushrooms also have a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine . Their legendary effects on promoting good health and vitality and increasing your body's adaptive abilities have been supported by recent studies. These studies suggest that Mushrooms are probiotic - they help our body strengthen itself and fight off illness by maintaining physiological homeostasis - restoring our bodies balance and natural resistance to disease. The compounds they contain have been classified as Host Defense Potentiators (HDP) which can have immune system enhancement properties.

....or the 'magic ones' !!!!
Mushrooms can be very good for you, certian varities contain lots of vitamis and minerals. But they are concidered a rich food and eating a lot of them can cause problems in some people. Get educated, but there's no reason to not eat them,especially with some butter,lemon and a dash or two of black pepper.
Edible ones are, inedible ones are not. unless you know what your doing, stick with the store bought ones. Mushrooms are rich in minerals, and are a passion food, like peppers and garlic. they have a earthy and yet delicate taste. good for the disgestion and a treat to the tongue.
Yeah man............
