I'm somewhat familiar with the "usual" plant chemicals ie. Carbon, hydrogen, ozygen, nitrogen but it has left me wondering, can any plants make usage of reactions with salt/sea salt. I know there are plants like mangroves that can survive salty environments but im unsure if they merely protect themselves from it vs if they can make use of it. Are you aware of any plants that produce compounds from salt? What other "atypical" elements can feature in plant compounds

I really have to ask this question as it's often brought up about mold on food etc. Is the danger with misidentifying mushrooms or with the fungi contained on it? Does boiling the mushrooms before consumption alleviate this danger. Just legitimately curious how dangerous it would be to put mushroom spores in fresh compost or similar and consume the results. Not really planning to do this, it's mainly just a question that is stuck in my head lol. Like how OCD is sterilizing the mediums, has anyone died from consuming mushrooms grown this way?
