Lobster Mushrooms Histamine Information

Lobster mushrooms (Hypomyces lactifluorum) do not have specific research available to illustrate their impact on histamine levels in the body. However, they are classified under the category of mushrooms, which are known to potentially impact histamine levels. Mushrooms fall into the category of foods with a high histamine content, alongside red wine, matured cheeses, and smoked meats among others. While the histamine levels in lobster mushrooms specifically are uncharted, general mushrooms consumption can lead to increased histamine levels in individuals who are histamine intolerant. Furthermore, mushrooms are also considered as histamine liberators. Even though they might not contain high levels of histamine themselves, they can instigate the body to release histamine, causing the same symptoms associated with high histamine food consumption in individuals with histamine intolerance. The suggestion to check how cooking or preparing lobster mushrooms could potentially lower their histamine content is interesting, but there is also no concrete research available regarding this. Different cooking methods can certainly reduce histamine levels in foods, however, it is not clear whether this also applies to lobster mushrooms. In the end, due to the categorization of mushrooms as high histamine food and as histamine liberators, it would be safe to assume that lobster mushrooms might have similar properties. However, specific research on lobster mushrooms and their impact on histamine levels is lacking, and therefore concrete statements cannot be made. Therefore, for the time being, it may be wise for people with histamine intolerance to treat lobster mushrooms as potential histamine sources. References: 1. Maintz L, Novak N.
