PY - 2015 T2 - Goldfrank's Toxicologic Emergencies, 10e 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.
