Fungus poisoning

Poisoning by eating a poisonous fungus.


Around 2,000 mushrooms (toadstools) grow in England, of which 200 are edible and a dozen are classified as poisonous. Not all the poisonous ones are dangerous. It is obviously better to prevent mushroom poisoning by ensuring correct identification of those that are edible; books and charts are available. If in doubt, do not eat a fungus.
