Can eat the stem: Absolutely no problem eating the stem of mushrooms- edible and delicious; no need to waste it. While button/portabella mushrooms are the ones most often sold in the us, other mushrooms are delicious ; have even more health benefits, such as shiitake, maitake ; oyster mushrooms.Be sure to cook them as raw mushrooms have toxins that are destroyed by cooking. Cooking also makes them easier to digest.
