Mushroom poisoning
Mushroom poisoning (also known as mycetism ) refers to harmful effects from ingestion of toxic substances present in a mushroom . These symptoms can vary from slight gastrointestinal discomfort to death . The toxins present are secondary metabolites produced in specific biochemical pathways in the fungal cells. Mushroom poisoning is usually the result of ingestion of wild mushrooms after misidentification of a toxic mushroom as an edible species. The most common reason for this misidentification is close resemblance in terms of colour and general morphology of the toxic mushrooms species with edible species.
