Wild or unknown mushroom

Do not rely on home identification

Documented data setDo not allow ingestion; after a wild or unknown mushroom is eaten, call a veterinarian or emergency clinic immediately.

Only some mushroom species are toxic, but reliable identification is difficult. Effects can range from vomiting and diarrhoea to abnormal heart rhythm, seizures or organ failure.

What now?

Keep remnants or photographs of the mushroom, note the time and estimated amount, and do not induce vomiting yourself.
