Mycophobia is the
abnormal and persistent fear or aversion to mushrooms. This phobia may be triggered because a lot of
mushrooms are poisonous. It may also be
triggered if someone has had a severe allergic reaction to mushrooms. Those who suffer from this phobia can’t eat,
touch or smell mushrooms without becoming anxious.
A phobia is a strong,
persistent fear of situations, objects, activities or persons. The main symptom is an excessive and
unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. Other phobia symptoms include
shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and an overall
feeling of dread. Phobias are the most
common form of anxiety disorders.
