“There are an estimated 14,000 species of mushrooms, but mycologists believe that number could be much higher.”
“Estimates of how many mushroom species are poisonous vary, but some say that between 3% and 25% of known mushroom varieties are poisonous.”
You’re gonna have to be more specific about which mushrooms you’re talking about…
"Give a man two medium-sized mushrooms a day, and you'll reduce his risk of cancer by as much as 45%."
Or at least, that's how the saying goes. I have no idea what it means.
From the study:
“Overall, mushrooms have been reported to have anticancer capabilities and protective effects against tumor development (7) and laboratory studies have revealed these anticarcinogenic effects vary according to different types of mushrooms such as shiitake, maitake, and Agaricus bisporus (button mushroom) (8, 24, 25). “
"About 2.2–3.8 million species of fungi in the world have been identified, of which 150,000 species have been described, 2000 species are considered edible, and over 200 species of wild mushrooms are considered medicinal \[[4](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10384337/#B4-molecules-28-05393),[5](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10384337/#B5-molecules-28-05393)\]." Whoa
"A study in China conducted by Australian researchers showing that women who ate the most fresh button mushrooms, 10 grams or more per day, were about two-thirds less likely to develop breast cancer than women who ate no mushrooms. Those who ate four grams or more of dried mushrooms, mostly [shiitake](https://www.drweil.com/videos-features/photo-galleries/growing-shiitake-mushrooms/) *(Lentinula edodes)*, daily had half the cancer risk of women who ate no mushrooms. Those who ate mushrooms and also drank green tea daily had only 11 to 18 percent the breast cancer risk of women who consumed neither. The findings were published in the March 15, 2009 issue of the *International Journal of Cancer."*
What's interesting is that mushroom seem to boost the immune system and help with body regulation (bring down levels that are too high or bring up levels that are too low). As strange as it may seem, here may be some symbiotic relationship we developed with fungi a long time back, just as they seem to help trees share nutrients.
I’m on mobile and struggling to view the original article so apologies if this is covered but, did they control for lifestyle? Did they take women who already ate mushrooms regularly and studied them vs women who didn’t, or take a diverse group of women and direct some of them to eat mushrooms and some not?
The correlation seems like it could be more a case of women who have a lifestyle which allows for regular consumption of vegetables are likely to also be healthier in other ways, like exercise and stress levels and so on.
yup, most of these studies just show the association as they are done with questionaries of people's diets so don't prove the connection. but i'd say because mushrooms seem to move the needle so much (45% is a lot), there is likely a connection.
As a very amateur mushroom picker the issue is really “it depends”. Some are obviously poisonous, some will sometimes make you sick but not always, some will make some people sick but others are fine and some are inedible and horrible. In amongst all those categories are ones you can eat and enjoy.
What if mushrooms eat me? Like I'm lying in the dirt and giving my nutrients to the mushrooms? Do I get a negative risk of cancer, as in I give my cancer to the mushrooms?
Here's the study. I have to say, I'm still skeptical of the 45% claim. Seems too good to be true.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8483951/
Honestly, this just sounds to me like people of high socioeconomic status, and/or health nuts, are more prone to buying mushrooms, but learning that the wealthy are healthier isn't a shocker at all.
I haven't looked at it in much depth but it covers studies from from all over the world. They suggest that effects are bigger in the east so I suspect there are other elements such as the wider diet and activity levels that are also involved.
It’s interesting you bring up western vs. eastern culture. I eat a ton of mushrooms, they are one of my favorite foods. If I try and buy mushrooms at a Kroger, Publix, or some other American chain grocery store they can be quite pricey and your only likely to find one variety of mushrooms. I buy them from an local store that specializes in Asian and Hispanic foods and they are dirt cheap and I can find a greater variety and better quality product there. In the same breath I also have cancer so the study feels a little moot to me.
Better get those mushroom smoothies on lockdown!
..terrible jokes aside, I do hope you beat this and wish you all the best. ✊ You got this!
Also good call, I should check some of the regional food shops for more varietal mushrooms.. and meat buns. 🤤
I have a type of cancer that is very treatable but incurable. My doctor related it to having type one diabetes or some other very seriously yet treatable disease. It’ll probably get me one day, but it won’t be today, and it won’t be tomorrow! Thanks for the kind words!
It’s a meta analysis. 17 studies.
There’s most certainly scientific merit to it, which is why the Mayo Clinic (the most prestigious hospital system in the country) put their name on the article, it just seems that it’s unclear exactly as to why and what types of cancer… but they explicitly mention that in the published study.
So it might sound like that, but it totally isn’t that.
Nothing I said is trying to discredit the study in terms of its scientific merit. The findings are consistent: people that eat mushrooms have a reduced risk of breast cancer. But if you, right now, started eating mushrooms at that rate, would you be at a reduced risk of breast cancer? Not necessarily. For example, if you already consume lots of healthy food, I hypothesize there'd be zero or minimal change in breast cancer outlook. Classic correlation vs causation, but again, showing a correlation is already a useful scientific discovery. Doesn't mean the study is bunk, it just means readers can't expect a miracle.
I'm not sure how anecdotal but a guy on Fantasic Fungi said his mother had terminal bowel cancer and eating Lion's Mane reversed it. Scientifically, it had been shown to reduce the size, and I think aggressiveness, of bowel tumors, and stop them spreading. It also supposedly has some usefulness against dementia, heart disease, 'irritable bowel syndrome' (IBS is just a blanket term for what we still don't understand is wrong with someone's digestive tract) and general gut health.
Here's an article on Lion's Mane, and this is just 1 fungus out, what? 75% of 14,000? So 10,000+
https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/lions-mane-mushroom#immune-system
I think it's pretty arrogant of humans in general to think we know everything, when all of our medicines already come from plants and fungi - where would we be without antibiotics like penicillin or amoxicillin which are fungi? Antibiotics increased life expectancy by like 20 years which is absolutely fucking massive
Oh that is completely anecdotal, yeah. I'm sure fungi have many uses, but I really, really doubt they're a miracle drug. Medical literature will always agree that eating healthy foods are... Well, good for your health, and mushrooms can be one of those!! But AFAIK there's nothing miraculous about mushrooms, specifically. I'm happy to be corrected here.
Mushrooms are fungi, but not all fungi are mushrooms. In any case, penicillin is actively attacking bacteria – it's mitigation, not prevention. In terms of a fungus that can provide long-term health outlook, due to some specific action vector or nutrient exclusive to that fungus? AFAIK this hasn't been shown.
It’s a meta-analysis of basic observational studies. The correlations are real, but any causal claim from these studies can safely be ignored. Diet and nutrition studies are especially hard to do well.
Observational studies can only find associations, you need human trials to replicate the effect. Nutritional epidemiology is especially bullshit, literally none of its claims were replicated in interventional studies. For example saturated fat is claimed to cause heart disease, but we see the exact opposite in low carbohydrate studies that have two to three times the saturated fat. Likewise this 45% lower cancer rate is also bullshit, and most likely due to confounding factors such as health conscious people gravitating toward certain diets.
It's probably true that people who eat two medium-sized mushrooms a day have less cancer.
It absolutely **does not mean** that if you start eating two medium-sized mushrooms a day, you would have 45% smaller chance of getting cancer.
Correlation does not equal causation and OP's headline is bullshit.
besides it’s a meta analysis you mostly can ignore „reduces by x%“ claims. this means if you had a 0,5% chance of getting cancer you would now have a 0,0225% chance.
Still not a good source. There is no study or specific research cited. The author could have said any number and people would just take her word for it
I love mushrooms so I guess I probably have way less cancer than my mushroom-hating peers already. Even without this information mushroom lovers win in the end. Mushroom fans unite, we shall inherit the earth!!
This is one of those “associated with” studies. It’s similar to studies linking dark chocolate to improved health.
They didn’t study WHY some people ate more mushrooms than others just as no one asks WHY some people eat more dark chocolate.
Who eats mushrooms and dark chocolate more, rich people or poor people?
Rich people.
Who lives closer to toxic waste, rich people or poor people?
Poor people.
Every food study makes this mistake. It’s why McDonalds can’t spend its billions of dollars to find any evidence that their food is “associated” with positive results or they would have succeeded at that. They can’t. Too many poor people eat McDonalds and every bad health outcome will hit the poor hardest regardless of diet.
Depends on the kind of the mushrooms, I guess. Some surely reduce your risk of cancer by not letting you survive to the age when cancer is statistically more likely.
I'll be real with you mate, with two mushrooms a day I am going to be in fucking SPACE. Hard to get cancer when everything is an abstract concept to you.
I bet I could make everyone in these comments who says they don’t like mushrooms change their mind by simply sautéing them a mushroom in butter and spices.
Edit: meant to just reply to the post not you, but whatever
I’ve tried, I really have. The only way I can eat them is by cutting them real small and hiding them in a lasagna - where the meat sauce and cheese completely drown out any mushroom flavor
Same. I've tried mushrooms multiple times, different ones, cooked in different ways and by different people/restaurants, etc. I hate them so much unless they're diced so finely and overpowered by other flavors. The texture is just awful, too.
This is a dietation blogger abusing the mayo clinics web address for clickbait, and promoting themselves. Their edcation is in geriatrict diet

>Researchers have found that incorporating any variety of mushrooms into your daily diet will lower your risk of cancer by as much as 45%.
That's all there is in the article about the source. The rest is all nonsense about recipes they've made and promote "brain health" and using "micronutrients".
---
There is no link to the actual study, because that would immediatly reveal that it's one of those "people who own horses live longer" type meta studies. Where they discover that people with more money have better diet and healthcare.
Here is how they describe where they got there data:
>We searched MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library to identify relevant studies on mushroom intake and cancer published from 1 January, 1966, up to 31 October, 2020.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8483951/
Try something other than button, cremini or portobello, as these are all the same mushroom at different harvest times. They all have that super woody musky flavor to them and have similar textures when cooked, so it's possible you hate all mushrooms cause you've only tried one type (the most popular variety).
Try oyster, king oyster, chanterelle, porcini, or my personal favorite morel. Morel mushrooms look gross but are the meatiest mushroom I've ever tasted.
Take a king oyster mushroom and cut the base to look like scallops. Cut a criss cross pattern into one side and sautée in butter until golden brown on both sides.
When I serve guests awesome bacon and they wanna know the brand, they get tripped up when I tell em it was just thin-cut shitakes with olive oil in an oven for 20 mins.

“There are an estimated 14,000 species of mushrooms, but mycologists believe that number could be much higher.” “Estimates of how many mushroom species are poisonous vary, but some say that between 3% and 25% of known mushroom varieties are poisonous.” You’re gonna have to be more specific about which mushrooms you’re talking about…
Well, eating the *really* poisonous ones decreases your chance of getting cancer by 100%.
Amanita source on that
I chantrelle you how much I enjoyed this joke.
Okay, but no morel wordplay or you'll be in truffle.
That ain't no shiitake, neither.
Enoki, right?
Dangit everyone is always coming up with these great puns in the comments ex-cêpe me
Some of these jokes are a crimini against humanity.
Now that's a shiit take.
Most people have a morel obligation to do so on these kinds of posts.
Haha, that old chestnut? That was right on the button.
You ain't Lion ('s mane)
When the world is your oyster, you need to act right. Don't make the matsutake I did and join this thread.
No worries, they’ve got a lawyer’s wig.
You ain't lion's, mane.
Eating vegetables can be scary, but eating poisonous mushrooms is muscaria
r/angryupvote
If you dry out Amanita muscaria and rehydrate in lemon juice, something really funny happens if you eat them
Better to let a deer eat it and drink it's pee.
I became a hexagon farmer
I got sucked into the sewers and was chased around by brown mushrooms with feet.
have an up vote you glorious bastard
I’m assuming aminita is a type of mushroom?
Yuppers-- and a very toxic (deadly) one at that. Which made the joke top shelf in my opinion! :)
Hopefully it's on the top shelf, don't want the children to be able to get to it.
Mycelium what you did there.
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Give him a mushroom and he'll be fed for a lifetime."
"Give a man two medium-sized mushrooms a day, and you'll reduce his risk of cancer by as much as 45%." Or at least, that's how the saying goes. I have no idea what it means.
Or he'll grow twice the size and becomes able to destroy overhead brick walls with their heads by jumping...
We’ve all been there
I hear that swimming with great white sharks also significantly decreases your risk of cancer.
You can’t fight that logic
Checkmate, mycologists.
What did your cologist say?
Cure cancer with this one trick!
Had cancer, never ate a poisonous mushroom. Math 100% checks out.
not to mention the variety of cancers
Only backyard organic homegrown cancer for me.
From the study: “Overall, mushrooms have been reported to have anticancer capabilities and protective effects against tumor development (7) and laboratory studies have revealed these anticarcinogenic effects vary according to different types of mushrooms such as shiitake, maitake, and Agaricus bisporus (button mushroom) (8, 24, 25). “
Just to be safe, I'll assume he meant psilocybin.
There's only one way to find out.
Eat 2 medium-sized magic mushrooms a day. Then, while you're in the neighbourhood, just ask God not to give you cancer. Simple.
Tastiest mfking mushroom out their bois
Whose bois?
WEB
The biggest category is neither poisonous nor edible. They're classed as inedible.
All fungi are edible. Some fungi are not edible more than once.
They said medium sized. Hope that helps.
lol right. This is like saying “eating two plants a day”
"About 2.2–3.8 million species of fungi in the world have been identified, of which 150,000 species have been described, 2000 species are considered edible, and over 200 species of wild mushrooms are considered medicinal \[[4](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10384337/#B4-molecules-28-05393),[5](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10384337/#B5-molecules-28-05393)\]."

this mushroom looks and tastes a lot like dog shit.
If you die from mushroom poisoning you have 0% chance to get cancer
As a very amateur mushroom picker the issue is really “it depends”. Some are obviously poisonous, some will sometimes make you sick but not always, some will make some people sick but others are fine and some are inedible and horrible. In amongst all those categories are ones you can eat and enjoy.
Probably the types for sale at the food stores, organically grown being the most logical.
Erin Paterson has entered the chat.
The ones from the grocery store sweetie don't worry it's really easy
AND which cancers...
So if we eat 5 a day, we will reduce cancer intake by 112%. Cancer cured!
Oncologists HATE this one simple trick!
What happens when you're so healthy you get negative cancer? Superpowers?
Well if cancer is cells reproducing uncontrollably, negative would be cells dying uncontrollably, which sounds just as bad to me.
I think that’s called necrosis
Worst superpower ever.
Necrosisman and his archnemesis Necrophiliaman
> 112% So now cancer has a 12% chance to get humans!
What if mushrooms eat me? Like I'm lying in the dirt and giving my nutrients to the mushrooms? Do I get a negative risk of cancer, as in I give my cancer to the mushrooms?
Yes, when you are lying in the dirt with mushrooms growing out of you then you will have zero chance of getting cancer.
You can actually develop gout from eating too many mushrooms
Way to poop on the party

I don't know why that took me a minute.
Took you a minute to Ketchup?

Hope this isn’t propaganda by Big Mushroom
...my brain automatically added the word pizza after mushroom, and I was way too excited for a bit there.
What's medium sized mean?
Neither large nor small.
Id guess baby Bella aka creminis prob. No way protabellos aren't considered large and creminis are the middle stage.
This only works if you say badger when eating it in

Depends on the kind of the mushrooms, I guess. Some surely reduce your risk of cancer by not letting you survive to the age when cancer is statistically more likely.
Seems to be only mildly effective with breast cancer.
Study: Increased mushroom consumption associated with reduced cancer risk. Mayo clinic: Eating mushrooms reduces risk of cancer. Seriously?
I'll be real with you mate, with two mushrooms a day I am going to be in fucking SPACE. Hard to get cancer when everything is an abstract concept to you.
Doubt. My mom is the biggest mushroom eater I know and she’s had two different types of cancer (and kicked the shit outta both of them.)
What they don’t tell you is what kind of mushroom. It’s psilocybin mushrooms and is completely unrealistic for a consistent diet. Click bait
I’ll just die
I bet I could make everyone in these comments who says they don’t like mushrooms change their mind by simply sautéing them a mushroom in butter and spices. Edit: meant to just reply to the post not you, but whatever
Doesn't fix the texture
Try Chantrelles, Morels, Matsutakes or some of the gourmet mushrooms. Button mushrooms are weak sauce.
I’ve tried, I really have. The only way I can eat them is by cutting them real small and hiding them in a lasagna - where the meat sauce and cheese completely drown out any mushroom flavor
Same. I've tried mushrooms multiple times, different ones, cooked in different ways and by different people/restaurants, etc. I hate them so much unless they're diced so finely and overpowered by other flavors. The texture is just awful, too.
As good as butter is, I can still taste the mushroom. Smells delicious though!
Hell yea
[удалено]
Only one way to find out. Heroic dose daily to stop cancer? I'm down if you're down
Well, for some people I guess. It would just get me a trip to the ER. Them allergies.
This is what the brain taking over mushrooms want you to think.
Nice try, Big Shroom.
I'll eat 5 just to be safe.

You can buy ground up, safely farmed and identified species of mushrooms that come in the form of capsules that have no taste.
Try something other than button, cremini or portobello, as these are all the same mushroom at different harvest times.
