Beware of these foods when reheating! Choices that can be dangerous

7. Mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus and other species)
Cooked mushrooms are another food that can be dangerous when reheated. The proteins in mushrooms can break down quickly if left at room temperature, which not only affects their flavor but can also cause digestive problems, such as stomach pain or bloating. Also, if not refrigerated properly, they can grow bacteria.

Tip: Refrigerate cooked mushrooms as soon as possible and if you decide to reheat them, do so at a low, consistent temperature to avoid problems.
