Button Mushrooms Histamine Information

Button mushrooms, also known as white mushrooms or Agaricus Bisporus, are one of the most common edible mushrooms consumed worldwide. Regarding their impact on histamine levels, there isn't conclusive or specific research currently available. However, it is of general knowledge that mushrooms do play a role in histamine levels and are classified as histamine liberators, meaning they can provoke the release of histamine from immune cells in the body. Although the exact reason behind this is currently under investigation, initial theories suggest it could be due to the specific proteins and enzymes present in this food group. It's also worth noting that certain compounds in mushrooms such as tyramine and putrescine could further contribute to this effect by interfering with the breakdown of histamine in the body (Petra B, et al, 2019). More comprehensive research is needed to definitively answer the impact of this food type, particularly the ingestion of Button Mushrooms on histamine levels. Caution should always be exercised for those with a known histamine intolerance or any underlying condition affecting the body's histamine levels, as consumption of any histamine liberator including Button Mushrooms may potentially prompt an adverse reaction.
