Mushrooms during pregnancy
Cooked mushrooms are a good thing to have in the fridge. They are one of the few foods that carry vitamin D, and they take on whatever you cook them with. Cook them rather than eating them raw. CDC advises people at higher risk of listeria, which includes you right now, to skip raw mushrooms — enoki have been behind several outbreaks. Rinse them, cook them through, and enjoy them. Wild mushrooms are the one real caution: only eat them if someone who knows mushrooms has identified them.
