Health officials are worried about what might happen if people are infected with bird flu and seasonal flu at the same time. It’s possible the viruses could swap gene segments, in a process that scientists call reassortment.

    More importantly, mushrooms very commonly cause digestive upset for a lot of people, even safe ones and even when cooked. I love mushrooms and even go foraging, but I recently realized I’m one of these people.

      I’m sorry for you. That would suck so hard for me, I love my little 'shrooms.

      Tonight I’ll harvest my oyster mushroom, the lion’s mane needs just a few more days.

        Thank you. It is very hard. I spent years learning to identify and find mushrooms! I had just been looking to start cultivating them myself when I went on an extreme elimination diet to try and see what are all these things that must be upsetting my stomach. Mushrooms, which I ate pretty much every day and sometimes more than once, are sadly one of them.

        That will not stop me from eating morels and the occasional chanterelle when I find them. Worth it.
