It depends on the kind of mushroom. Most varieties that one could find in the grocery store are safe to eat everyday and may even have some health benefits.

If she’s buying them at the store or farmers market, it’s safe to eat. If she’s foraging wild mushrooms, she needs to know very well what she is picking as some wild mushrooms are poisonous. Generally speaking, mushrooms are good for your health. They’re an excellent source of vitamin D. In fact, chanterelle and maitake mushrooms have some of the highest vitamin D levels you can find in a plant source! Mushrooms also have other important nutrients like potassium and several B vitamins as well.
