Are Mushrooms Clean Or Unclean Food | Kosher Diets
Mushrooms are unclean foods and they are not suitable to be consumed as Kosher food.
"God also said, “Look, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the surface of the entire earth and every tree whose fruit contains seed. This food will be for you, 30 for all the wildlife of the earth, for every bird of the sky, and for every creature that crawls on the earth — everything having the breath of life in it. I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 God saw all that He had made, and it was very good." Genesis 1:29-31
What makes Mushrooms unclean?
Mushrooms Are Seedless Organisms
Mushrooms, unlike plants that produce visible seeds, reproduce through budding and
scattering microscopic spores. It can be argued that spores are the mushroom’s seeds, just
as man’s sperm is his seed, but microscopic spores are not plant-like visible seeds.

Mushrooms Are Parasites And Scavengers
Mushrooms are parasitic saprophyte scavengers. Mushrooms obtain their nutrition from
metabolizing energy from dead or living plants and trees. As parasites, mushrooms feed
off living plants and trees.

Chlorophyll Free Organisms
Mushrooms are growing fungi organisms with no chlorophyll, flowers, or leaves. Fungi
get their nourishment from dead or living organic matter. Mushrooms are not
chlorophyll-pigmented green vegetation herbs. Green herbs receive their life-sustaining
energy by photosynthesizing energy from carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water.

plant diseases. Fungi are referred to as a curse in Scripture, not a blessing.
