Babies eating mushrooms

I haven't seen a post about this, and so I truly hope that I'm not duplicating someone's question.  I like mushrooms and I have thought about recipes including them and feeding them to dd.  For some reason though, in the back of my head, I have a quiet warning saying mushrooms might not be safe at this age.  Does anyone else feel this way?  Is there any weird thing about feeding LO's mushrooms that I should know about?

I don't think you have anything to worry about. DD and I shared a portobello mushroom sandwich the other day and she loved it! She's been eating mushrooms since she started eating table foods. The only thing my doctor says they shouldn't have before 1 year is honey.

My aunt gave LO mushroom empanadas at Christmas. I honestly didn't think a thing about it. She loved them. Like above post, the only big no no is honey.

Thanks ladies!  I fed her a yummy quinoa with onions, garlic, mushrooms, chick peas and swiss chard in it today.  She loved the whole thing:)   I don`t know why I felt weird about feeding a baby mushrooms.

I'm glad you asked!  Ped said only to avoid honey, but I had the same niggling thought about mushrooms.  Like maybe the texture made them dangerous?  More easily choked on?  So it's good to hear my worries were unfounded!
