WOWZA! Did Ray ever address this?
It's curious that Ray recommends the young white button mushrooms and not the more mature portobello or baby bellas, which would have less hydrazine due to age· The older mushrooms are better
· The concentration of hydrazine in button mushrooms decreases with the age of the mushroom, meaning a portobello will have less in it than a cremini, and a cremini will have less than a button. No matter which you're going for, make sure to cook it. Maybe mention something to the people running that salad bar with raw mushrooms in it?

Yikes. That's astounding. Still doesn't explain the Baby Bella/Crimini, which looks to have an even better profile than the younger White Button mushrooms.
I've found that there are two types of white button mushrooms.Yikes. That's astounding. Still doesn't explain the Baby Bella/Crimini, which looks to have an even better profile than the younger White Button mushrooms.
Like a few of the comments here I can no longer eat most wild mushrooms. It's with great sadness. I still go out picking them because I love picking almost as much as eating them. I was a commercial harvester for a while, now it's just for enjoyment. Chanterelles just give me stomach pain and upset but enough so that I don't want to eat them, but the worst is lobster mushrooms.
Transcription:
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 hydrazines 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]
From: Are Raw Portabella Mushrooms Dangerous?
Gives another meaning to "mushroom cloud.""This is an explosive area of conversation..."
Sounds like he was implying they can be weaponized, as silly as that sounds. Nothing surprises me anymore.
