You Are Not Alone In Your Fear Of Mushrooms
Any irrational fear of a specific thing is a phobia. The fear of mushrooms is called Mycophobia. There are valid reasons to stay away from mushrooms and nearly all of us manage to do so without any difficulty. To the sufferer of a fear of mushrooms, the childhood instruction about the dangers of some wild fungi has evolved into a phobia. Mycophobes’ fear has gone beyond basic caution or safety.
Unlike some phobias that interfere with normal life the fear of mushrooms rarely contributes more than a relatively small inconvenience to most people. It is rare that fear of mushrooms causes the incapacitating reaction associated with fear of snakes or spiders… Etc. Those Mycophobics who exist on the more sever end of the scale will certainly disagree. Some people have reported a fear of mushrooms that causes then to scream and freeze at the sight of a wild mushroom close by.
To non-mycophobes simply avoiding mushrooms seem easy. If you have a fear of mushrooms the task is not nearly as easy as it sounds. In day to day life we rarely notice mushrooms. The mycophobe is not so lucky. A fear of mushrooms can be triggered in unexpected places. Walking along a sidewalk near a toadstool can be a challenge.
Most of us treat a trip to the supermarket as a common necessity, not a challenge. To the person with a fear of mushrooms the supermarket trip requires careful planning. To prevent a bad reaction the produce aisles are approached with caution. A selection of whole mushrooms can cause a near panic. Depending on the severity of fear even the canned vegetables must be navigated carefully.
A trip to a supermarket requires preplanning. The common locations where mushrooms are encountered must be avoided. Produce aisles and even canned vegetable aisles are approached with caution.
Most Mycophobes lead rather normal lives and manage to disguise their reactions when unexpectedly confronted by a mushroom. If your fear of mushrooms has become incapacitating there are several treatment options. An internet search for “Mycophobia treatment” returned over 200 results.
