Скачать или смотреть Victorian mushroom poisoning: What fungi to NEVER consume

As police investigate the death of three Victorians linked to poisonous mushrooms, there’s fresh warnings about which mushrooms you should never consume.

There’s two particular wild mushroom species that are toxic.
Death Cap mushrooms and Yellow staining mushrooms.
They’re commonly found in Canberra, Adelaide and both metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria.
These mushrooms can cause gastrointestinal illness, liver failure, and death.
Death Cap mushrooms, which are the most dangerous species, are typically found near oak trees in metropolitan Melbourne and rural areas.

The Yellow staining mushroom is another type to avoid.
This mushroom, which usually has an unpleasant odour, looks very similar to “supermarket” mushrooms.

The cap and stem are a combination of white and pale brown, and turn yellow when rubbing the surface.
Experts say, put simply, avoid any wild mushrooms and instead, consume ones purchased at green grocers and supermarkets.
