Comment on “Mushroom intake and depression: A population-based study using data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 2005–2016”

The collection of wild mushrooms for consumption remain highly popular in different populations and is also practiced in the US. It cannot be ruled out that the decreased (not dose-dependent) odd of depression in mushroom consumers is, at least partially, due to their exposure to the natural environment and associated lifestyle factors. Therefore, further research focusing on depression rates in groups of mushroom hunters is encouraged.
