Therefore, I cannot eat mushrooms. There are some vaccines that I can't have because they have a yeast base. I am able to tolerate breads and most pastries made with yeast which I think is due to the yeast being diluted with all the other ingredients.

There is a mold with several syllables in its name (which I can't remember or pronounce) that is present in the air when it rains and the temperature is around 35 F to 45 F that I am very allergic to. Musty leaves in autumn, too.

So I am not thrilled to learn that more fungi are expected.
