@dish_by_david: most mushrooms are missing the most important step. fermentation. beta-glucans in mushrooms activate your immune system at the cellular level. fermentation makes them three times more available to your body. cooking destroys that. salt doesn't. a follower has been making these every week for six months. once you taste them you'll understand why. recipe in the comments. #fermentation #fermentedmushrooms #guthealth #immunesupport #betaglucans #realfood #fermentedfoods #antiinflammatory #brinelab #dishbydavid
This post makes several scientific claims but doesn’t provide any peer-reviewed sources to support them. Beta-glucans do interact with immune cells such as macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells through receptors like Dectin-1, but that does not mean eating fermented mushrooms automatically produces a stronger immune response. The claim that fermentation makes beta-glucans “three times more available” is a very specific number that requires evidence, and I haven’t seen research supporting it as a general rule for mushrooms. Likewise, the statement that cooking destroys beta-glucans is misleading. Beta-glucans are relatively heat-stable polysaccharides and are still present in cooked mushrooms. In fact, cooking can help break down mushroom cell walls and improve digestibility. Fermentation can be a useful food-processing method, but presenting it as the “most important step” while claiming cooking destroys the key compounds is not supported by the current evidence. If there are peer-reviewed studies behind these claims, they should be cited

Full recipe:
Wash mushrooms with a baking soda rinse. Layer in a jar with cabbage leaves and caraway seeds between each layer. Salt every layer. Press down hard. Airlock on. Three to five days at room temperature.
When ready strain them. Add sliced red onion, fresh dill, good olive oil. Mix together.
Any mushroom works. Salt ratio is one to two percent of total weight. Taste on day two — salty, slightly sour, slightly cloudy brine means it's working.
Three days in summer. Up to five in a cooler kitchen. Gets better every day in the fridge once dressed.

My massage therapist and nature path told me those kind of mushrooms have toxins and to not eat them

What about the 20+ minute suntan for extra vitamin D before the ferment, is that still a thing?

cook your mushrooms
Beta-glucans are structurally resilient, heat-stable polysaccharides—not delicate vitamins or enzymes. In the scientific community, thermal processing (such as boiling, baking, or roasting) is actually the standard method used to break down the rigid, indigestible chitin cell walls of mushrooms to extract and release soluble beta-glucans (Abdullah et al., 2017; Kiss et al., 2021). While heavy boiling can cause some water-soluble compounds to leach out into the cooking water (Yao et al., 2023), thermal treatments often increase beta-glucan solubility and enhance their prebiotic efficacy rather than destroying them (Hwang et al., 2020; Kiss et al., 2021).
