Is mushroom good in pregnancy?

Question

I love mushroom sabzi but my MIL told me to stop eating it now that im pregnant, says it is not good. Im 12 weeks. Is there any truth to this or is she just being overcautious? Bit confused yaar.

When I was at my parents' house, my mom used to make fresh mushroom curry for me as it's rich in proteins. Just wash them nicely at home and enjoy.

Mushrooms are a great source of vitamins, and I absolutely crave mushroom tikka these days! Just ensure they are fully cooked and not raw.

Properly cooked culinary mushrooms are actually quite nutritious as they have vitamin D and iron. Just avoid wild mushrooms and make sure whatever you eat is thoroughly cleaned.

Yes, they are safe but please make sure they are washed extremely well and cooked thoroughly to avoid any infections. I was very sensitive and avoided eating them outside, only having them home-cooked.
