The enhanced culinary interest in mushrooms has led to experimentation by young and old—old citizens and our newest immigrants and our young children reaching for what might become an innocuous (common) or a serious (rare) ingestion. Rigor in ­analyzing the possible ingestion is indispensable for those treating a patient who has ingested a mushroom of concern. This chapter offers general information on the most consequential toxicologic groups of mushrooms and emphasizes clinical diagnosis over mushroom identification.
