https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/820538/ is an issue, for

Not to say that growing mushrooms at home is risk-free, but that paper is about industrial production.
Emphases mine: [0]
"Several persons concerned with the cultivation and industrial production of this mushroom fell ill, after close contact with it over a period of some months, with exhaustion, headache, chills and fever, and cough."
[0] (no snark intended - just pointing out potential differences from home cultivation)

yeah, but no one is tracking home growers. the issue is spore germination in lungs or allergic hypersensitivity which will be due to exposure.
I used to grow mushrooms at home, and worse, oyster mushrooms, and developed a persistent cough even for my relative low volume. it cleared up when I got rid of them, but you know, the area was just covered, covered in spores.
