Unless you ate the teeniest amount of rice, zuc and mushrooms you couldn't have had enough fat percentage with that amount of oil to cause a problem. Rice is high in calories (the veg have very little) and should absorb the fat cals.
Maitake mushrooms eh? that is pretty cool. I dabble in mycology and what people need to remember is that any wild mushroom can cause allergies in people (especially when eaten raw!) even if they are not poisonous. I am just mentioning it and not claiming that was the problem.
My other guess is how certain foods will hit the gut. When I eat a lot of rice with only veggies like cooked carrots and eat it quickly, I can get really sick and painful. It isn't the rice or the veggies but the way it was eaten or the mood the gut was in when you ate. Keep that in mind and try zuc, mushrooms and rice again. Add some tofu this time! when extra firm tofu is pressed all day in paper towels and then fried at high heat in the stirfry oil you used and then splashed with soy sauce and some ginger shreds- yum! The key to tofu is cooking the heck out of it.
