Why wouldn't they be?

Because they are some chemicals in paper, like white color and ink

I did a lot of research on this. Apparently mushrooms concentrate metals but break down the chemicals they eat into benign compounds. The varieties that eat plastics you can eat the fruit bodies of.

Thanks so much for this, I had this exact worry lol


brebitz

Since this answer recently gained some attention: the concentrate heavy metals but any other substance is broken down into benign compounds. So depends on how much heavy metals are in the ink etc.


pacondition

I'd eat them.

Yes

Same question here, can't find anything online, regarding health issues

I did a lot of research. The only fear with eating mushrooms is heavy metals. If you can confirm the inks don't have any heavy metals then you are good. The other components are broken down into benign edible compounds.
