Mushrooms are Halaal. Rasoolullaah Sallallaahu `Alayhi wa Sallam said that mushrooms are good for the eyes. The Hadeeth appears in Bukhaari Shareef.
Imaam ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah Rahmatullaahi `Alayhi also states in Zaad-ul-Ma`aad, with regards to mushrooms, that they are a cure for paralysis bi-Idhnillaah.
And verily for everything that a slave loses there is a substitute, but the one who loses Allah will never find anything to replace Him.” [Related by Ibn al-Qayyim in ad-Dâ' wad-Dawâ Fasl 49]
Thanks a lot everyone for your quick responses. I grew up knowing Mushrooms & Prawns are Makrooh !
So always avoided eating them, will start having mushroom from now....
Alhamdulillah that you know now, sometimes we can hear strange things growing up, .
I am not sure about prawns tbh, but yes mushrooms are definitely halal alhamdulillah. I personally don't like their taste at all, but if you do like them, they are a healthy and nutritious food.

Question:
I have heard that prawns are makrooh. Is this true?
Answer:
According to the reaserch of the Shafi’ee, Maliki, and hanbali school of thought, they are halal because these three imams say that all sea animals are halal.
However, within the hanafi school of fiqh there are two opinions regarding prawns. Imam Abu Hanifah rahmatullahi alayhi says that among the creatures that live in water, only fish is halal. This is due to the Hadeeth which uses the word سمك samak ie. Fish.
Now there is a debate within the Hanafi school as to whether prawns can be classed as fish or not.
According to many linguistic specialists prawns are a type of fish, as stated in the ‘Qamoos’ and ‘Taajul Uroos’.
Also, Allama Dameeri has written in his book ‘Hayyatul Hayawaan’
الروبيان هو سمك صغير جدا أحمر
Translation: “Prawns are very small red fish”
On this basis, many of the Hanafi Scholars have said prawns are halal.
However the modern day animal classification experts do not count prawns as a type of fish. They say the definition of fish is:
هو حيوان ذو عمود فقري يعيش في الماء و يسبح بعواماته و يتنفس بغلصمته
Translation: A fish is that creature which has a backbone, lives in water, swims with its fins and breathes through its gills.
Prawns do not come under the category of fish, because they do not have a backbone nor do they breathe through gills. So they fall under the category of insects, and would not be allowed.
Since many Ulama still regard prawns as a fish and eating them is common amongst them so eating prawns cannot be classed as haram.
However, due to the conflicting evidence, they could be classed as Makrooh. It would be better to avoid them. But, if someone does eat them, we shouldn’t say anything to them. Allah knows best.
( from Fiqhi Maqaalat- Mufti Taqi Saheb pg. 217 vol.3)
I like prawns and mussels as well. In Quran it says that sea food is halal. I dont know why Imam Abu Hanifa thinks otherwise?
Maida 96 "Lawful to you is the pursuit of water-game and its use for food,- for the benefit of yourselves and those who travel; but forbidden is the pursuit of land-game;- as long as ye are in the sacred precincts or in state of pilgrimage. And fear Allah, to Whom ye shall be gathered back."
So is it halal? Drugs and over dose alcohol give the same effect.
Not permissible. Islaam forbids all kinds of intoxicants.
Psilocybin Mushrooms (Magic Mushrooms) are one of the ten most commonly used drugs in the world, like LSD, Ecstasy, Cocaine, etc. They're even banned in many countries.

Shellfish
(Prawns, lobsters, and crabs) also live on land as opposed to are limited to water. They also lack a lot of the qualities that define "fish" and we classify them as arthropods. In this regard it is understandable why there may be some question because these animals are not exclusive to the water.
