About half of the more than 300 mushroom-related calls made to SA's poisons hotline in the past three years have been in relation to children aged under five.
abc.net.au/news/wild-mushroom-warning-issued-by-sa-health-authorities/102184330A public health warning has been issued about the potential dangers of wild mushrooms after a dozen reported poisonings in South Australia in the year to date.
"Our strong advice is do not eat wild mushrooms — it's not worth the risk," SA Health physician Kate Murton said. Fungi expert Teresa Lebel said while mushrooms might appear "bright", "colourful" and "fascinating", consuming them can be deadly. SA Health said symptoms of poisoning — including severe stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea — can last up to three days, but their onset could take up to 24 hours.Dr Leber said anyone who came into contact with a wild mushroom "should take photos of the mushroom and the general location".
