A member asked:

Is it possible to be allergic only to portobello mushrooms? i only have symptoms with portobellos. i have had truffles and no reaction.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yes. Just like some mushrooms may be edible and others might kill you, or some may be hallucinogens and others not, you can definitely have an allergic reaction to one type of mushroom but not to another type.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
