>>>are mushrooms alright to eat as they do have lots of excellent nutrious values such as are very high in potassium, selenium particularly the white Crimini types, etc.

Yes, "Edible" mushrooms are fairly nutrient dense and low in calorie density.

>>some say they are very toxic

There are some mushrooms (like there are some berries) that are toxic but those are not the ones you will find for sale in the grocery store.

Enjoy!
