As Ray Peat pointed out, button mushrooms are a good source of nutrients.
"Well cooked button mushrooms contain an effective amount of aromatase inhibitors, and can improve digestion, and are very nutritious, similar to meat." - RP
I have been researching the nutritional content of foods, and foods highest in micronutrients. The data regarding the micronutrient content of button mushrooms indicates that they are really a valuable source of micronutrients, especially for people who cannot eat certain foods due to food allergies and intolerances.
What I am wondering is, how much does boiling the mushrooms for one to three hours decrease/destroy the minerals and vitamins in them?

Me - If a person limited dietary fat to the trace amounts in skim milk, sugary fruits, and then used Hydrogenated coconut oil as the fat source in the diet, would that keep PUFA from accumulating with age as well as deplete what is currently in fat stores?
Ray's Answer - Yes. With more knowledge about the composition of fruits, those might be able to provide all essential nutrients, but at present other foods (such as mushrooms, liver, shell fish) are needed to assure adequate trace minerals."
