Do you eat mushrooms on Pesach?

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.

March 12, 2013 8:33 pm at 8:33 pm #936404sharpMemberNo, but mushrooms is the least of the problems in any recipe. You can always skip it easily.

Just kidding, we don’t peel regularly unpeeled foods on Pesach.

March 13, 2013 2:18 pm at 2:18 pm #936408🐵 ⌨ GamanitParticipantSam2- 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.
