Why this happens
White button mushrooms do not affect the liver enzymes (specifically CYP3A4) that break down atorvastatin, nor do they interfere with how the drug is absorbed or excreted by the body.

You can safely eat white button mushrooms while taking atorvastatin. Continue to take your medication as prescribed by your doctor. If you are considering taking concentrated mushroom supplements or powders, it is always best to check with your pharmacist first, as these are much stronger than culinary mushrooms.
