What is Mushroom?
Mushrooms are a type of fungi that come in a wide range of varieties and are used globally in culinary applications for their umami flavor and nutritional benefits. They are generally low in calories and provide a source of vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin D, selenium, and potassium. However, many mushrooms are high in FODMAPs, which are types of fermentable carbohydrates that can cause digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals.

Why People Avoid Mushroom
People following a low FODMAP diet often avoid mushrooms because many varieties are high in FODMAPs, specifically oligosaccharides, which can cause digestive issues such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea in sensitive individuals, particularly those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). However, certain varieties like oyster mushrooms and canned champignon mushrooms are considered low FODMAP in specific serving sizes.
