Ate shiitake mushrooms, came out in rash

This is horrific. I substituted raw shiitake mushrooms for the usual button mushrooms in my salad the other night, and the next day came out in the most horrific rash all over my body. It looks like I've been whipped in places. I had a sussppiiccion about the mushrooms, given that it was a new addition into my diet. Googling around it seems that some people come out in a rash from eating raw shiitakes. I've been walking around my whole life thinking there was no food I was allergic to, and BAM! What a downer, I was really digging the taste of them.

    Do yourself a favor and don't eat any genus Psilocybin mushrooms for awhile.  Otherwise you'll find yourself staring at your rash and freaking out.

    If you do you run the risk of discovering  left handed frying pans!  Turns out I was all wrong about the left handed frying pans and I don't know why

    Yeah, I was thunkin' that he really wanted to have a nice trip without the kids! Or us, for that matter!
     
    (Sidebar:) Actually that didn't happen to me. I spent my time reading a couple of books and listening to Phaedra, and A Tab in the Ocean, and Selling England by the Pound and Space Ritual ... on the same trip ... and for the first time hearing those albums, it was massively awesome! I don't even remember eating anything but the music was awesome.
     
    The foldout album cover full of stuff in the original Space Ritual was worth the trip all by itself! I didn't even need Michael Moorcock!

    I didn't see the double i in shiitake and LMHO at your post sharke!  Now I realize you were serious.  Hope you get that one sorted out.

    Yeah good job I wasn't allergic to the magic variety otherwise I would have spent most of the 90's in rash hell....
     
    It's gotten worse today. On my hands and fingers. Oh the urge to itch....lol
     
    Girlfriend: "couldn't we just eat them cooked...they only cause rashes when they're raw"
     
    HELLA NO! I will not be letting these vile poisonous Satan's toadstools anywhere NEAR my kitchen in ANY state, cooked or raw. In fact I'm going to start wearing a bracelet which says Do Not Feed This Man Shiitake Mushrooms, just in case I'm ever in a coma and someone thinks about feeding me them through a tube.

    Sorry about the rash.  At least now that you know about the shiitake allergy at least you can take steps to avoid it in the future.  Good luck.

    Thanks, and I'm looking back to a couple of mystery rashes I've had in the past and wondering if I inadvertently ate something with them in.

    A friend of mine was sick and lost a lot of weight over a year.  His doctors thought of all kinds of causes and ran all kinds of tests that didn't help.  Finally, they sent him to an allergist and found out that he was allergic to 10-15 food items including yeast and corn.  Just those two and in most everything!  Once they put in on the proper diet--mostly fresh food and salads.  No bread and nothing with corn syrup.  After they got everything out of his system, he go better and now he can have a more normal diet.  He just has to not overdo a few items.  
     
    He'd been allergy-free for over 25 years before this happened.  I discovered that allergies can turn on and off at different times in our lives.  Until then, I thought an allergy was something we were born with and it would be that way for life.

    I was a rash once.  In retrospect, I don't think I really thought that decision all the way through.  I was in a hurry and didn't consider the consequences.
     
    There's an expression for that type of decision, but I can't think of it right now.  I'm too busy scraping off this ointment.

    We used to have a sound guy back in the day that told us he'd just had a great Chinese dinner that included s-h-i-t-ache mushrooms.  I still can't think of them any other way.

    Phaedra and Rubycon were definitely two favorites to have on.  All music was setup ahead of time otherwise you spend an hour just looking at the disk before putting it into the CD player upside down and wandering off.

    About 15 years ago I was back home and went to see an old friend, he had some "herb" he had been saving. Whew... a few "tokes" and I was trying to figure out which end of the cable to plug into my guitar... really. I can believe a left handed frying pan. That sounds about right. LOL!

    Well at least now I know there is a name for this shiitake rash. It's called "flagellate dermatitis" or "shiitake dermatitis" and is caused by a reaction to lentinan found in the aforementioned shrooms when they're uncooked. I'm so down about the fact I cannot eat these anymore because apart from lending a lovely smoky taste to my signature salad, they're supposed to be extremely healthy. The second worst part of it is that I daren't go to the gym because they'd probably chase me out of the locker room with a broom.

    I thought you needed to put your, er, unit, into a toaster to get flagellate dermatitis, no?

    ...
     


    I'm really wondering how much of that reaction, or rash, is due to the chemicals that are sprayed in the food on the way to your house. I never saw, once, an indian in Brazil, or anyone else, have any issues with mushrooms, and in there they are much bigger, better ... and more far out!
     
    I still believe it's all the chemicals and sheep-dip that is added to the food in America, that is the problem. If you add up all those chemicals there are at least 3 or 4 that both you, I and anyone else here, would have issues with at our age!
     
    Craig is exempt though, I want to add (for fun!). He personally tested lsd-25 and knows there are no bad chemicals in it. Same here, btw! And it was a smooth trip, no speed, no reactions, nothing ... and no after effects other than your mind remembering details through out in piece-meal fashion!
     
    BTW, did you know that your pineal gland secrets stuff that is almost exactly like the lsd-25, but obviously organic to your body? You can take the trip without the mushrooms!

    Are they going to chase you out of the locker room because of the rash, or is there something you're not telling us?  
     
    I'm glad they were able to identify the dermatitis.  Maybe you can find a different mushroom you can use in your salad.

    Nope, not due to chemicals, it's due to a natural substance found in uncooked shiitake's and the rash has been recognized in Asia too. The substance is only found in shiitakes, other mushrooms aren't infected. The reason you've never heard of it is likely to be that it's a relatively rare allergy.

    sharkeWell at least now I know there is a name for this shiitake rash. It's called "flagellate dermatitis" or "shiitake dermatitis" and is caused by a reaction to lentinan found in the aforementioned shrooms when they're uncooked. I'm so down about the fact I cannot eat these anymore because apart from lending a lovely smoky taste to my signature salad, they're supposed to be extremely healthy. The second worst part of it is that I daren't go to the gym because they'd probably chase me out of the locker room with a broom. 

    Are they going to chase you out of the locker room because of the rash, or is there something you're not telling us?   I'm glad they were able to identify the dermatitis.  Maybe you can find a different mushroom you can use in your salad.  


    Plain old button mushrooms. You just can't go wrong with them!

    Craig is exempt though, I want to add (for fun!). He personally tested lsd-25 and knows there are no bad chemicals in it. Same here, btw! And it was a smooth trip, no speed, no reactions, nothing ... and no after effects other than your mind remembering details through out in piece-meal fashion!
     
    BTW, did you know that your pineal gland secrets stuff that is almost exactly like the lsd-25, but obviously organic to your body? You can take the trip without the mushrooms!


    Well, in reality, I'm not a big fan of non-organic chemicals and, during my PhD work, I'm aware of all the things most people don't know that your body can do.  I also have a few experimental medical devices that can be used to take not only non-chemical, but good for you "trips."
