I finally figured out why I can't eat mushrooms. It isn't just because i don't like them. All mushrooms are derived from mold. I'm allergic to mold and always have been. That's one of the reasons I'm allergic to penicillin. LINK TO MY INFO SOURCE -

Is it safe to eat mushrooms with mold on them?

I've never liked then, but as I got older, they'd make me sick if they were an ingredient in anything.

@jerzgirl Yeah, it's kind of hard to eat something that's not suitable for our taste.

Mushrooms aren't mold. Mushrooms are a fungus. Mushrooms MIGHT have mold on them, though... that's why you wash them before you cook them. I'm allergic to mold but have no problems eating mushrooms. I LOVE eating mushrooms!

Mold is a fungus, too. They are related and I get sick if they are in something I'm eating.
