I mean, there might be effect, but do you have a quantification of these. Like maybe you get 0.1% more likely to catch cancer if you eat these mushroom, but when you compare that to the 300% more likely if you smoke then I think you're safe.

Why do we allow smoking but are scared of low dose radiations?

"Why do we allow smoking but are scared of low dose radiations? "

Because smoking is not mandatory for everyone, but a individual choice and you can sue people, whose smoking effects other people.

Radiation effects everyone.

And no one is scared of low dose radiation, but it is a symptom of what can happen.

Chernobyl was just one incident. Going 100% nuclear and with people still being people, this would mean more accidents, more radiation, more cancer.

>Radiation effects everyone.

So do emissions and by-products of mining, coal burning, battery tech. To a much higher extent if I may add.
