Except for obvious exceptions like Fly Agaric, and also Deadly Nightshade and Belladonna I believe

The thought of eating those, might make me feel ill withought ingesting any first.

this makes me think of that Clint Eastwood movie, "The Beguiled". good movie. Early Clint Eastwood.

what you say is true, Boss.. but there have been uses found for poisonous substances. sometimes a little of something can be healing, where a lot is deadly.

so.. even if we can't eat them, it doesn't mean they don't have worth!!!

I suppose so.

A possibly related incidence would be CowPox to obliterate Smallpox. Or maybe that's not quite along the same lines.

The only I can recall Poisons having benefit, is with Poison Arrow Frogs. The Poison is added to blow dart tips, and natives can use it to kill animals during hunting.

Boss, poisonous substances are the basis for most forms of medicine. Some of the most poisonous plants and minerals can be the most powerful healers when judiciously applied in the corrects dosage and potency. Almost anything is toxic if applied incorrectly, then again most anything can induce a healing response if applied correctly to the correctly selected case.

It is the absolute basis of the use of homeopathy.

Well when you put it like that, it does provide clarity to things.

I suppose you could usethe analagy, for everything, there is an equal and opposite reaction, so for every potential poison, there may be a potental treatmet or cure.

I used to have my doubts concerning mushrooms. After all, they are a fungus, right?
Antibiotics are made from fungus, and fungus seems to cause or aid many diseases.
Then I did some research on mushrooms, and discovered they are a superfood. They are packed with nutrients, and are very good antioxidant. They can kill cancer cells, and that is only the beginning. Mushrooms lightly fried in coconut oil is very good, as well as raw slices in a salad.
As far as vitamin D is concerned, 1000 I.U. per day is low. That should be doubled, and during the winter months, 2000 I.U. in morning and another 2000 I.U. (D3) before bed. That would be more beneficial, without the worry of overdosing.

Mushrooms are quire unusual, in that they have about the same ratio of Protein to Carbohydrate. Most foods with a good amount of both, even things like Legumes, Dairy, etc etc, have a bias of one or the other.

Total Nutraceutical Solutions, Inc., announced that the company has acquired from The Penn State Research Foundation (PSRF) an option to license an invention entitled "Rapid Generation of Vitamin D2 from Mushrooms and Fungi Using Pulsed UV-light" (The Invention). A U.S. Provisional Patent Application was filed on April 23, 2008 and names Professor Robert B. Beelman and Graduate Student Michael Kalaras as co-inventors, Department of Food Science, Pennsylvania State University (PSU).

The PSU scientists recently studied the effect of Pulsed UV light treatment on increasing Vitamin D2 levels in four commonly consumed U.S. mushroom varieties. Pulsed UV light is a technology that delivers energy from light at a high peak power in a short amount of time. A Steripulse(R)- XL 3000 (Xenon Corporation, Wilmington MA) was used for Pulsed UV light exposure. This study demonstrated that after a very short exposure time of about 1 sec (system generates 3 pulses per second) the Vitamin D2 content of these mushroom varieties increased from very little to upwards of 800% DV/serving. Previous studies using continuous UV light has been shown to take several minutes of exposure to obtain similar values. https://www.foodscience.psu.edu/VitaminDEnrichment.pdf
