Most of the nutrients in mushrooms are behind a cell wall of chitin, which is a fibrous substance consisting of polysaccharides and forming the major constituent in the exoskeleton of arthropods and the cell walls of fungi.
because of this chitin, eating a mushroom raw is not very nutritious and you miss out on most of the health benefits.
