CamilleR Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 I've eaten many types of choice edible mushrooms and never had any problems until I tried the cauliflower last night. Ugh I was up half the night throwing up 5 times. No idea what the problem was. I started out cooking it a little hotter than medium with a sauce made with olive oil, butter and lemon. Gradually reduced heat and it was cooked at least 15 min. Didn't add anything weird. Maybe I'm allergic to this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vault Dweller Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 I haven't found it before, but according to my guide this is easy to distinguish and a choice edible. Looks like it to me. I not that some "white" areas on it are quite stronger colored and possibly puffy (the part on the left of your picture). Maybe some mold grew with it and happened to be the same color?

Evan Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 This is definitely a cauliflower mushroom. It's very possible that you are allergic to them. It is always a good idea to only try a small amount of any new mushroom in case you have a sensitivity to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattVa Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Man that sucks but thanks for sharing. Hope your back to normal and finding more shrooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamilleR Posted August 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 I didn't notice anything odd about the way it looked, seemed fresh but it did have an odor which I thought was normal. Chicken mushrooms smell weird to me and it reminded me of that odor. Maybe it's just me because my husband had some and he was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCn15 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 As the earlier poster noted, some people have sensitivities to certain mushrooms. Looks like this one doesn't agree with youl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
