Yeast and mushroom go together?


Yeah, a lot of health-focused people add yeast (usually dead, sometimes not) to recipes. I guess as an example more related to myself... I make mead and I'm also an amateur mycologist. Meads can be flavored with spices and fruits. I have seen some meads and beers made with mushrooms or mushroom extracts. I've also seen some mushroom recipes that call for yeast. If you were to make a mead infused with shaggy mane mushroom, you would vomit. Shaggy mane mushroom causes vomiting when alcohol is consumed with it.

This is sort of a cheat to the question though. The foods do pair well together from a flavor perspective, but there's a physiological issue when consumed together.
