I know nothing about mushroom varieties but I have extreme reactions to mushrooms.
Unfortunately they either make me violently ill if I eat too many or I need the bathroom very fast and very soon after for a small quantity.
The worst bit is I love mushrooms and used to eat them no trouble at all. Last night we went to the restaurant and one of the appetizer things was a tiny tiny amount of mushroom soup. I thought that much wouldn't do any harm (I can eat dishes with a few in them without any trouble though I don't actually eat the mushrooms themselves). Of course I was wrong. Even that little had an effect. I'll spare the details :lol:
I don't think mushrooms are a specific lupus allergy thing. I know people with lupus often have allergies but I'd say this one of mine is just a coincidence. It's also probably more an intolerance than an allergy. I don't really have allergies to other stuff (unless one counts my instant migraine reaction to some perfumes).
