AB The  diversity  of  mushroom  species  is  evident  in  our  grocery  stores,  our  restaurant  menus,  and  our  environment.  The  enhanced  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  or  a  serious  ingestion.  Rigor  in  analyzing  the  possible  ingestion  is  indispensable  for  physicians  treating  a  patient  who  has  ingested  a  mushroom  of  concern.  This  chapter  offers  general  information  of  the  most  consequential  toxicologic  groups  of  mushrooms  and  emphasizes  clinical  diagnosis  over  mushroom  identification.
