Just becuase you're allergic to penicillin doesn't mean that you're going to be allergic to mushrooms. Typically people who are alleric to mushrooms are allergic to the spores of the mushrooms. If you can eat portabella mushrooms chances are you can get cubes or some other type of hallucengenic mushroom. If your friend still has doubts, tell him go to see an allergy specialist.

LOL, Penicillin isn't a fungi its an anti-biotic , it is derived from the Penicillium fungus. It was discovered by Sir Alexander Fleming.
I'm allergic to penicillin too, so no he won't keel over...

...digging for related post I made a while back...
Quote:
If grown properly, there is no penicillin in shrooms. However, penicillium, from which penicillin is extracted, is a common contamination seen in the growing of mushrooms. If you grow your own and are careful, then you should have no problems. If you buy them off the street, I would be careful. When growing on your own, the contamination is easy to spot (blueish green instead of white).

I too have been allergic to penicillin since birth. I ingest mushrooms occasionally when I am in the mood for a tasty treat. I have had no allergic reactions to any type of mushroom I have ever ingested. I hope this helps.
Peace.

Seuss-
I think that the logic of that quote is interesting. Potentially any mushroom you "buy off the street" could have come from a contaminated substrate (with trich, lipstick, cobweb, penicillum, etc.). Therefore potentially any mushroom at any time could make anyone sick. I suppose it's a risk a person takes whenever they ingest mushrooms. I think his friend will be just fine.

Yes, but most contamination won't make you sick if you are healthy. His friend already knows that he is at a higher risk than most other people to be effected by a very common contamination. Therefore, logically, his friend should be more careful than the rest of us assuming he values his life.

> what about wild shrooms? Are there contam concerns with those?
Probably fine in the wild, but mjshroomer would know for sure. The contams that we get when growing indoors usually occur because of the high nutrient content of the substrate. I am far from a wild mushroom guru... ask mj.

I am allergic to pennicillin and take arythimiacin instead or elemicin.
Amoxycillan.
However shrooms have nothing to do with that kind of fungoi.
You just do not take shrooms or any drugs when takinfg antibiotics. They do not help the immune system when high.
You can eat all the shrooms you want to witin a dosage range compatible for your system buut should not eat shrooms or other drugs when on antibiotic medication.
