In the most recent KMUD Herb Doctors
Peat briefly discusses mushrooms as a source of high quality protein.
I should preface this by saying that Peat stated:
"I don't know anything about mushrooms.
Just about the protein and antibiotic aspects" (a near quote, I hope).
The exchange took place at about the 26 minute mark.
It was prompted, as I recall, by Andrew asking
if Peat knew of other sources of good antibiotic fiber,
as in the carrot and bamboo shoots.
To which Peat replied, "Oh...mushrooms."
He said the protein was of high quality,
and was low in methionine--the most harmful of the aminos.
So...since we are tasked here on this forum
with going where no man (nor woman) has gone before in the Land O' Peat,
I thought I should throw open the topic of mushrooms
as a Peatian protein source.
(It is curious that Peat does Not seem interested himself.
Could be as simple as he doesn't like mushrooms.
But I doubt it's that straight-forward....)
