In the biblical account of creation, God provided humanity with a vast array of plants and vegetation for food, as described in Genesis 1:29. Later, in Genesis 9:3, God granted humanity permission to eat any moving thing, which would include fungi such as mushrooms. However, the Bible also warns against the dangers of excess and sinful desires, listing sorcery and idolatry as works of the flesh in Galatians 5:19-21, which some have associated with the use of certain fungi.
