I Got a craving for raw mushrooms

[Tenuho]

ive never really liked mushrooms especially not raw, only cooked in butter, yet lately all i feel like eating is raw mushrooms, i heard they're toxic though, some of them dont taste 'right', as in i dont feel right about eating them, yet these little white button ones i could eat a 100 and they feel right, i also feel good after eating them......as someone whos never eaten them much should i just go for it while ive got the call? or avoid them?

I would say, if it's raw and you're drawn to it then eat it. I love raw mushrooms (white button and portabello).

lol Da ja Vu anyone? I just started craving Mushies tonight! That & I've been craving Salads first thing in the morning.

I eat them all the time. Just make sure they're organic.

I eat them at least once a week. Usually marinated in olive oil and tamari with spices, or brushed with oil and softened in the dehydrator. Baby Portabellos and Creminis are my favorite.

I think the "dangers" of eating raw mushrooms are overblown. And I consider myself cautious. I would never eat any wild mushrooms.

I wish we could get organic mushrooms in our area! *Ü*

I've had phases where I've craved them like mad. Your body probably needs something in them right now -- they're pretty high in quite a few minerals and are also the only raw vegan food with vitamin D. Eat up -- you'll know when you've had enough. :)

LOL! When I first went raw I remember eating salads for breakfast! Funny how aware we are of what our body wants when we eat raw!

P.S.
I LOOOOOVE your quote under your posts....it's so true :)
