A member asked:

Is eating mushrooms good or bad for you? please advise!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Commercial mushrooms added to food makes them more palatable and interesting. Mushrooms from this source have few nutrients however. Be careful about harvesting your own as there are some seriously poisonous varieties growing wild. In general, however, mushrooms are neither bad nor good in the usual sense of these words.
