I can understand, I have a deathly allergy to mushrooms. IfI eat a mushroom,
I can be dead within the hour. If I even eat anything that has been cooked in
the same pan as mushrooms I get very sick.  This is a reason why I don't do
many onboard feasts.

The weird thing is I can cook with mushrooms (my mushroom pies I have been
told are very good, but I have never been able to taste one) as long as I
don't taste test and wash my hands after handling the mushrooms, I will be ok.
