Do you eat mushrooms on Pesach?
Only magic ones.
A Google search found this:
These valuable fungi (mushrooms) are cultivated with spores prepared and grown under controlled conditions. It is best to ensure that a pure strain of fungus is isolated. As the spawn develops, it is allowed to colonize kernels of moist rye or millet. Moist rye, is Chometz, and some have therefore cautioned against using mushrooms on Pesach. However, most authorities do not consider this to be a problem since the grain is merely a carrier of the spawn and it imparts no value to the spawn. The grain decomposes and becomes inedible.
Nopes. Mushrooms feed on chametz in the plants.
Some don’t eat anything you can not peel.
No, but mushrooms is the least of the problems in any recipe. You can always skip it easily.
After we peel them, there’s nothing left.
Just kidding, we don’t peel regularly unpeeled foods on Pesach.
yes.
Gamanit: Halachically, that can’t be. The Bracha on mushrooms is Shehakol, not Adama, because they feed off the air and not the ground. Thus, they can’t be feeding off Chametz.
Sam2- I’m not talking about in the wild. I’m talking about in a plant. In the woods you won’t find them directly on the ground- either on the roots of trees or on leaves. Therefore, they are not living off the ground, but they do feed on the grains in the factory.
Canned with a hechsher for Pesach.
Shi-take mushrooms are grown on logs. There shouldn’t be any problem with those as long as they are not dried.
