In my case, I blame my dad. I can't explain most of my picky-ness (and indeed, even some of the stuff where I have a "reason" now, like shellfish, is retroactive) but in the case of mushrooms I distinctly remember that sometime around when I was starting school at 5 or 6, my dad explained what caused my athlete's foot and I have NOT eaten one (and prefer to avoid touching them) since.
