mushrooms contain quite some alkaloids that can make you very gassy / cause indigestion. But if you have no problem with consuming them raw, it may be fine.

I read somewhere that there could be a yeast link to acne in that people with acne often have a build up of yeast in the body and are susceptible to Candida Albicans. Therefore, could mushrooms be a bit of a problem for some people?

Another thought as well, are mushrooms considered as carcinogenic?

i've met / spoken with quite a lot of acne patients, and statistically, there is no such a correlation

therefore?
both yeast and mushrooms are fungi, but very different ones
but yes, some can react adversely to mushrooms, though that is not contributed to a yeast build up, but probably to a reaction to the substances produced by the fungus, or by indigestion

no, they are not, but cooked foods aren't either, while they do contain HCA that can cause cancer
I consider mushrooms as medicines, so i would advice against eating them regularly
