any downside to having cooked shiitake mushrooms frequently?

I don’t know of any specific downsides to having shiitakes regularly, but it likely depends on individual tolerance. Anecdotally, shiitakes were a staple of mine, used mainly as a copper supplement, when most of my diet was raw dairy from cow’s milk, less so when it was from goat’s milk because the latter is abundant in copper. Each week, I made a large batch of mushroom broth with the inclusion of herbs and salt, and had at least one warm, mugful daily. To this day, no food heats me up more. I used to sweat after having it, which was a feat for someone so hypo I didn’t even sweat while climbing mountains for 8+ hours in the height of summer.
Ray once said:
“The water from boiled mushrooms contains much of the valuable stuff, apparently in about the same ratio as in the solid part, so it’s important to consume it, too.”
