There are over 3,000 species, some of which are edible, others poisonous and fatal if consumed. CHALLENGES WHY MUSHROOMS ARE NOT COMMONLY EATEN PRESENTLY. 1.Fear of Poisoning: Alot of people who know mushrooms are aware of the fact that some types of mushrooms are poisonous, and it is not very easy to tell them apart, so people prefer to loose out on eating mushrooms if it means exposure to risk of poisoning. 2.
