Shiitake mushroom intolerance involves difficulties in digesting shiitake mushrooms, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort. This differs from a shiitake mushroom allergy, which is an immune response to proteins in shiitake mushrooms, potentially causing more severe symptoms like hives, respiratory issues, or anaphylaxis. Intolerance primarily affects the digestive system, resulting in symptoms like bloating or diarrhea, while allergies involve a broader immune system response.
