“What kind?”

Exactly LOL. You mean the shrooms’ you find at at the grocery or the shrooms’ they handed to me back in college?

This book is a hoot:

The researchers found that white button mushrooms, the most commonly consumed kind in the U.S., have about 12 times more of the antioxidant than wheat germ and 4 times more than chicken liver, the previous top-rated ergothioneine sources based on available data. Until the Penn State researchers developed their testing approach, known asan assay, there was no method employing the most sensitive modern instrumentation and analytical techniques to quantify the amount of ergothioneine in fungi. The researchers say that their assay can be used for other plants, too, not just mushrooms.

I must point out that this *unbiased* study was published by a state university in a state that is one of the world’s leading producers of mushrooms.

I’m a mushroom adict. Coincidentally, most people think I’m in my 40’s even though I’m 64. The older I get, the more embarrassing it gets.

Try this sometime:
Make yourself a hamburger, in whatever style you usually do.

BUT

Instead of a bun, use those GIANT Mushrooms, like Shiitake or others......................

A mere coincidence, I’m sure........................

Playboy interview (1972): "And what about the mushrooms you can't identify for certain? Is there any simple test that will insure they're safe?"

Euell Gibbons: "None whatever. ... Here in Pennsylvania — but not in other places — it would almost work to say that if a green plant tastes good, it is good. But even that rule won't work with mushrooms. It's been reported by people — just before they died — that the Amanitas vera tastes very good."

STATE COLLEGE, Pa.

Haven't checked those little cans of sliced mushrooms in a while, but are they still grown in PA?

Processor paying for a study?

Doesn't sway me one way or the other. I'm pro edible mushrooms.
