Are Mushrooms Aphrodisiacs or is the Old Adage a Myth?

August 16, 2020 by Karen Hill

There’s no specific one mushroom that we could find that is an aphrodisiac, it’s just an old adage about mushrooms in general being aphrodisiacs.

Although many people say they find their shapes and textures erotic and sensual, there’s no evidence whatsoever that mushrooms contain anything that would incite lust upon consumption.

As a matter of fact, while researching this, we ran across several bulletin boards where women were discussing this very issue.

One woman in particular advised that when potential partners try this tired, worn-out recipe for love on her, it has the exact opposite effect and sends her running, she hates mushrooms.

Consider this, boys, as you plan the menu for your next date. Mushrooms although cute, can taste really bad to some people.
