[quote:Anonymous Coward 43953376:MV8zODUwNTYxXzY5MjkwMzMxX0EyREFFQ0I=] Quoted from the video above [i]Paul Stamets: Portabellas have a problem. All mushrooms should be cooked, and portabellas, in particular, should be cooked at high temperatures. Joe Rogan: Why? PS: There is an unfortunate group of compounds called agaritines. Agaritines, are [b]hydrazines[/b] that are heat unstable, so the good news is, you should cook them, and if you cook them well, then those mushrooms are not a problem. If you don’t cook them well, then these hydrazines are potentially problematic. Now, nature’s a numbers game: so, there are beneficial compounds, that, in some balance, may outweigh the negative effects of the hydrazines, the garatines in these mushrooms, but that jury is still out so to speak. JR: What are the negative effects of this? PS: This is an explosive area of conversation, and that puts my life in danger, so I reserve the right not to answer your question. JR: Woah! I didn’t expect that. It puts your life in danger talking about portabella mushrooms? PS: [Silence][/i] [b]How can hydrazines affect my health?[/b] A small number of case studies of acute exposure in people suggest that your lungs, liver, kidney, and central nervous system may be injured if you breathe in hydrazine or 1,1-dimethylhydrazine or get them on your skin. Similar effects have been observed in animals. Animal studies indicate that effects on the liver usually consist of fatty changes, but other effects have also been noted. Some animals developed convulsions, tremors, seizures, or other effects on the nervous system after breathing hydrazines. Serious effects on the reproductive system were sometimes observed in animals. These effects included decreased sizes of the ovaries and testes and decreased sperm production. https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/phs/phs.asp?id=499&tid=89 [/quote]

The clip below is from November of last year so it's a little dated but I searched GLP and didn't see anything posted about this.
Paul Stamets is a mycologist, author and advocate of bioremediation and medicinal fungi. In other words he is an expert in the study of mushrooms. At around the 2 minute mark, Paul refuses to answer Joe Rogan's question on what the negative effects are of eating Portabello mushrooms. Paul states that his life is in danger if he answers the question!!! Wtf! Could it be that Portabello mushrooms cause cancer and the powers that be don't want us to know?
I've done a little bit of research on this and the only thing that I have found is that Portabello mushrooms contain Agaritine which is known to cause cancer and mutations in animals. Does anyone know more about this?
