Make antiseptic white button mushrooms that clean endotoxins from your GI tract the easy way like so:

1. Buy 4 pre-sliced containers of white button mushrooms from your local grocery.

2. Microwave in a large pyrex bowl for 10 minutes. Rinse well in strainer and drain. Transfer to container in fridge.

3. Eat 1-2 cups a day by adding to pan fried food, for example: as a side with a nice beef patty.

Many of y'all's guts are absolutely full of toxic garbage, inhibiting your thyroid (metabolism) and sex hormones. These antiseptic mushrooms will clear them out, making you feel incredible, and stop looking and feeling so gross.

"Laser microwave bad!" - well cooked mushrooms are for their antiseptic, insoluble fiber content. It doesn't matter if you microwave them. You can boil on the stove for 3 hours if you want. Same difference.

And did you know that many mushrooms are high in gallic acid?

There are claims that gallic acid combines with mercury to form a non-toxic compound that the human body can excrete.

This suggests that it is detoxifying to eat mushrooms together with tuna and other foods high in mercury contamination.

Food for thought. It would be nice to find more sources that can corroborate this claim.

The Fungi Kingdom is vastly underappreciated.

Aye. In this case they are acting almost like an antibiotic to gently cleanse the entire length of the GI tract, tummy to anus.

Very interesting!

I'm on chaga mushroom caps right now for nervous system. Mushrooms are the unsung heroes of plant medicine..🙏🙏🙏

Microwaving introduces chaotic patterns to water. See experiments of seedlings watered with pure water, and compare to seedlings watered with water that has been microwaved for 15 seconds.

Best to stick to stoveteop boiling for maximum health.

(1) once you boil 3 hours all that will be left is their unique insoluble fiber and (2) you will be recooking them with your meal, restructuring whatever water remained (not much)

As a third option, could one pressure cook for, say, 30-60 minutes?

Should be good!

From #Grok -

According to the Ray Peat perspective, the primary toxic substance in white button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) that requires extended cooking is **agaritine**, a hydrazine derivative. Agaritine is considered potentially carcinogenic, as some studies have suggested it may have mutagenic or genotoxic effects in high doses, particularly when consumed raw or undercooked. Ray Peat and his followers emphasize that prolonged cooking—typically boiling for 1 to 3 hours or using a pressure cooker for a shorter duration—deactivates agaritine by breaking it down or allowing it to leach into the cooking water, which can then be discarded.

Additionally, some sources in the Ray Peat community mention **hydrazines** more broadly (including compounds like gyromitrin) as potentially toxic, with effects on the liver or digestion if not properly neutralized through cooking. Extended cooking is also believed to improve digestibility by breaking down chitin in the mushroom cell walls and reducing other compounds like lipopolysaccharides (LPS) or endotoxins, which may cause gut irritation or inflammation in sensitive individuals.

However, it’s worth noting that the toxicity of agaritine is debated in the broader scientific community. Some studies suggest that the levels in white button mushrooms pose negligible risk to humans when consumed in typical amounts, even if not cooked extensively.[](https://raypeatforum.com/community/threads/why-cook-mushrooms.31455/)[](https://raypeatforum.com/community/threads/kick-experience-with-white-button-mushrooms.17812/page-2)[](https://raypeatforum.com/community/threads/raw-mushrooms.40299/)

Yes, it's called thermal molecular motion, and it dissipates again once the water has cooled.

That's not what I'm referring to.

Yes, I figured as much. So you have a youtube video and a paper that talks about minor differences in length of growths of plants watered with boiled water and goes into great effort to do statistical analysis on this but fails to detail the exact source of the water and what contaminants it may have, and provides no discussion of why it should have such an effect. Not exactly convincing methdology.

Why don't you tell me whatkind of 'patterns' microwave hesting supposedly adds to the water? I'm all ears.

Can I slice them, I am pretty handy with a knife

Yes. Once you've sliced by hand and boiled for 3 hours on a stove for a year or two you'll be glad these shortcuts exist.

Thank you lol

I'm going to try this out and see if I notice a difference. I know my gut isn't right, bloated, sore. Time to clean it out

Friendly ping. How's it goin?

Told my wife about it but she bought portobello mushrooms. So we will try again next week with white mushrooms

Friendly ping. Did you manage to try them out?

Yes, I've been on it for a little bit now. Just had some last night on the homemade pizza. Seems to be going smoothly

Great to have a huge container of pre-prepped antiseptic mushrooms.

Just scoop a cup or two into the skillet with your meal. Tastes great and delivers wonderful, gut cleaning BMs.

Hard to find a better way to keep endotoxins and stress hormones like estrogen and serotonin from taking over.

I actually love these raw with a vinaigrette. Any reason cooking them is better?

Thet contain lots of agaritine, raw no beuno.

Is the mug in there with some water so they don’t dry out?

I keep a ceramic mug of water in my nice Bosch microwave to make it last longer.

Depression is 99% physical.

Learned helplessness = entrenched serotonin state.

1. Dump SSRIs.

2. Consume antiseptic mushrooms.

3. Pursue goals.

What about just sauteeing them? Is there something key lost by that cooking method?

Only time it ever have mushrooms boiled is in soup, rarely. I prefer sauteeing them down, maybe with some garlic and onions, and slathering it all on steak (add bleu cheese for heaven).
