Also called: khumbi, pilz, champignon, button mushroom
How Mushroom affects your doshas
In Ayurveda a food's effect depends on your constitution. This is the lens the app uses to suggest what to favour and ease off.
| Dosha | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vata | Use sparingly | Can raise Vata — go easy when Vata runs high. |
| Pitta | Neutral | Broadly neutral for Pitta. |
| Kapha | Use sparingly | Can raise Kapha — go easy when Kapha runs high. |
When to go easy
Heavy, moist and cooling — slow to digest, unsettling for Vata and adding to Kapha.
