Follow Julia's advice but don't wash them. Mushrooms are like sponges and they will soak up the water and you will loss flavor and texture. Just wipe them with a dry paper towel or buy a mushroom brush (very soft bristled brush). The stuff on the mushroom isn't dirt it is a special thing called mushroom spawn.
It's harmless but it may affect the flavor

If you're just talking about regular mushrooms, like portobellos, white mushrooms, or shiitakes, then yes, there is no problem with eating them during pregnancy. just make sure they're thoroughly washed and cleaned with a soft brush, same as any other produce. If you're talking about wild mushrooms or "magic" mushrooms, then I don't think it's safe at all, because you have no real way of knowing whether they're toxic, and drugs are always a bad idea.

I refuse to eat mushrooms at any time. It is common in eating establishments to at best give them a quick wipe with a mucky cloth. Since they grow naturally in horse shite I used to insist mine were peeled, then I went off them altogether. They take quite a lot of dodging though as chefs add them to almost anything.

Depends on what mushrooms your talking about, but its best to ask a doctor.

Of course you can! This week I have read that Mushrooms are better than Broccoli, Peppers and Potatoes.

Don't even bother to cook them, just slice them up and chew the tasty little things!
The baby will love them!
