Is It Safe To Eat Raw Baby Button Mushrooms?

Just to check, this isn't just something that you found in some woodland? You did grow them yourself or buy them? Having fungus experts for a father & grandfather, I am well aware of all the nasty ways you can die from eating fungus that you haven't properly identified.

On the other hand, I also know how delicious some fungus can be

i often pop in to the fridge and grab and handfull of raw mushroom if im feelinga little peckish (or bored and just need something for my mouth to do) it beats going in and raiding the cake box i guess

Ooh, yes, lovely in salads especially when dipped in garlic mayo. *slurp*

I love mushrooms but have never tried them raw, going to have to try this now.
