Controversy over net vs gross carbs?

I'm sure this has been discussed somewhere on here and I haven't yet found it. I'm a bit confused. I have heard people say count the gross carbs and some say it's ok to use net carbs. Now, I was adding to my food accounting 1 medium mushroom and it added 1 whole carb. I don't know whether it's ok to use net carbs or if I should count whole carbs never mind the fibre content. Can someone help me out with this?
Thanks in advance.
