actually mushrooms have barely any iron ... if they have any it would be fron the dirt on them
Completely untrue. I suggest you read up on this topic.
Actually she's correct - there's only trace amounts of iron in mushrooms if any at all (it obviously depends on production, mushroom variety, etc.). Best sources of iron outside of meat are dark greens such as silverbeet, legumes and nuts.

Every Vegan should include mushrooms. I think it depends on how they are grown but they contain b12 I couldn't live without mushrooms.
At most around 4% RDI per serving. I wouldn't recommend relying on that alone.
Im the same lol! & the highest amounts of Vitamin D the specialist has ever seen in any of her patients. Can't figure out why, i eat stacks of Zucchini and Tomato, i'm wondering if the nutritionists missed something lol
And like most studies into B12 with vegetables,
it can only be said thus far that the B12 on mushrooms,
exists within the dirt of unwashed/uncooked varieties, from organic sources.
But there was a scientist who detected B12 in just about everything,
such as storm water.
The cobalt in the soil (used in one form as cobalt blue colour seen in Victorian pottery glazing/paintings)
Without Cobalamin (B12) farm animals cannot form properly, nor legumes...
Farmers will add Cobalt to the soil, but it is only needed in minute traces.
After they have grown nutrients out of the soil via reaping grass crops,
they will plant a crop feed or human food crop of legumes (beans and chickpeas and so on).
This puts nitrate into the soil and the animals if for grazing gain necessary B12 from the Cobalamin synthesized from Cobalt in these plants...
We don't spend a day chewing on plant matter... thus we eat the meat now containing the B12... which doesn't originate in these animals.. is merely stored up from their days eating,
and we get a quick dose from their laborious chewing and digesting.
B12 isn't made in meat...
Well it has been said that a stomach bacteria in some ruminant grazing animals can synthesize Cobalamin.
BUT it has also been speculated that humans have a bacteria which can do the same...
So it is more to do with being around trace elements.. gardening may give you a heap just from touching the soil.. I guess.. a week camping would surely do more for you that a week of being 'paro-lysed' by fermented vegetables.
Also a note.
In alot of the tablets.. Cyano-cobalamin is used... the Cyano- part happens to be a bonding of Cyanide in the process of cheap mass synthesized production...
by osmosis like processes these traces are left behind in the human body to an extent... some doctors are no longer recommending the use of this form of B12 supplement, but opting for other options. People have been known to report dizziness and headaches from supplements and it isn't much wonder.
Though an Iron tablet is the most economical way if you are looking to take a supplement... B3 - 6 and 12 I THINK along with Vit C are added to all Iron tablets to help the absorption of the Iron into the blood and body.
People don't need large doses of B12... they need it in ruminant grazing style trace doses... at a point... the body can only process so much.. this point happens to be very low.. the absorption percentile diminishes very rapidly the more you take.. but at 4micrograms I think... the best absorption occurs.
Just eat a freaking plant once in a while. ~ - ~
But yeah B12 is Vital to 'healthy' development and stuffffffff....
Saunder's Malt Extract has almost all the B vits..
Aloe Vera drinking Gel has all the essential Amino acids..
just hunt it out, usually you'l find too much in most fortified foods.. or concentrates.. Duh.
Oh that was the other thing.. If you're a smoker and you take Cyanocobalamin,
much less Cyanide is left behind, because from smoking you already have enough,
that the osmotic process hasn't much to level out.
Also.. they say "smokes" have Arsenic in them...
But... it just so happens that any burning organic matter releases/emits Arsenic.
Apparently. So.. it isn't so much "chemicals" in that one plant.. but just being organic in itself.
I think Mushrooms being the meat for Vegetarians is more to do with a textural use in recipies than to do with the... contents and its value in comparison to "meat" in general.
They add that quality to a dish as a posed to 'mushroom are MEAT FUNGUS!!! YAAYYYY'.
> - <'
Oh forgot last fun fact...
Spirulina is apparently a great source of b12... but again... it has been 'speculated' that the synthesized or accumulated Cobalamin or Cobalt trace in Spirulina are B12 "Analogues"...
Like a drug in the brain taking the space in a receptor that otherwise a useful and functioning organic native chemical would use.... an analogue is a dead cell, like virus or .. well idk.. it is inactive and thus clogs the system basically..
Kind of like microwave cooking which is said to turn Proteins into something indigestible or rather... unusable to the human body...
also apparently in 5mins of boiling as much damage to food is done as 30 seconds in a microwave... but also 80% of food value is lost or something in the microwave for a few mins or something.. idk, I just know I avoid using it ever and use a rice cooker instead to heat my tasty foods.
I couldn't live without mushrooms.
