Lao Zhang, who lives in Tonglu, Hangzhou
After eating a "spiced" dish made by his wife
He was admitted directly to the ICU
Not long ago, Aunt Hu picked 8 wild mushrooms when she went to a scenic spot near her home to go home, including 5 "white umbrellas" and 3 "gray umbrellas".
On the way, 2 "white umbrellas" were broken, and Aunt Hu used the remaining 6 mushrooms, plus greens, noodles, leftovers, etc., to cook a local dish, she was reluctant to eat it herself, and left it all for her husband Lao Zhang.
On the same day, Lao Zhang drank a lot of wine when he ate it, but he didn't expect to start nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea soon after. In the evening, he had excruciating back pain and began to have a fever and irritability, and he sought medical attention the next day.

Creatine kinase 22262U/L, more than 100 times the normal value, rhabdomyolysis, liver insufficiency, renal impairment...... The results of the laboratory tests showed that Lao Zhang's condition was very serious.
Three days after being admitted to the hospital, Lao Zhang had pulseless ventricular tachycardia, compressions and defibrillation were all used, his heart function still deteriorated sharply, and his life was in danger at any time.
It's terrible! Eat two kinds of "life-seeking drug kings" in a row
After carefully comparing the mushroom photos provided by Aunt Hu, the doctor found that Lao Zhang probably ate two highly poisonous mushrooms at the same time:
3 white Amanita mushrooms, commonly known as "white poisonous umbrellas", are known as the "number one killers" in the poisonous mushroom world. It mainly affects liver function, can lead to liver failure, and can be fatal in severe cases. The other 3 grayish-brown mushrooms are the sub-dilute red mushrooms, which are also highly lethal poisonous mushrooms, which mainly cause muscle lysis and cause kidney failure, which can seriously damage the heart.
Lao Zhang's experience is not unique
After the recent autumn rains
A large number of wild mushrooms of various shapes
In the fields, parks have "emerged"
Incidents of poisoning by eating wild mushrooms have also occurred one after another
The man picked up a basket of mushrooms and shared it with others, and 8 people ate all the poisoning and were hospitalized!
On the 22nd, Chef Chen (pseudonym) from Hangzhou picked a whole basket of mushrooms in the grass by the river and shared them with his colleagues after cooking, and as a result, 8 people had varying degrees of abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea and other poisoning symptoms. Fortunately, after treatment, they were all out of danger.

It is a common poisonous mushroom species in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and mainly grows from June to October. The big green pleated umbrella contains gastroenteritis toxins, which can easily cause serious gastrointestinal toxicity. The disease generally occurs within 2-3 hours after consumption, and the main manifestations of poisoning are vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc. If consumed in large quantities, it will also cause damage to the liver and nervous system, and even death.
"Dirt method" identification is risky
"Generally, whether it is poisonous or not depends on two points, first, the back of the umbrella has folds that are non-toxic, and smooth is toxic. In addition, if the mushrooms are burned in an iron pot, if the mushrooms are not blackened, they are non-toxic. "There is clearly no scientific basis for this type of soil method.
In fact, there is currently no method that can 100% identify poisonous mushrooms, except for professionals who can identify them with their rich experience. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone do not pick wild mushrooms. At the same time, please keep in mind the "four don't eat":
Don't eat what you don't know
The risk of not knowing and eating increases
Mixed with mushrooms and not eaten
It doesn't have to be a problem
Drink alcohol and don't eat it
Once poisoned, the toxicity will be exacerbated
Don't eat bacteria that are too small
The characteristics are not obvious, and it is easy to ingest
What are the other misconceptions about poisonous mushrooms?
Myth 1: Bright colors are poisonous
Judging the safety of a mushroom based solely on its appearance is unreliable.
For example, the snow-white, seemingly safe Amanita phalloides is actually a deadly "white poison umbrella"! However, the brightly colored Amanita phalloides are famous edible mushrooms.

Myth 2: What animals don't eat is poisonous
In fact, the famous toadstool, leopard umbrellas, are often eaten by slugs, commonly known as slugs.
Myth 3: Cooking with silverware and garlic will turn black before it is poisonous
Note! Mushroom toxins do not react chemically with silverware, garlic, etc.
What should I do if I accidentally ingest poisonous mushrooms?
Stop eating
Stop eating immediately and call 120 to get to the doctor.
Prompt vomiting
It should be noted that: pregnant women should use vomiting with caution; If the poisoned person is in a coma, it is not advisable to artificially induce vomiting, otherwise it is easy to cause suffocation.
Keep the sample
Keep the samples of wild mushrooms and vomit excrement consumed before the poisoning for the reference of medical treatment after examination by professional institutions.
Prevents dehydration
A small amount of sugar and salt water can be drunk to prevent shock due to dehydration.
Beware of "false healing"
Mushroom poisoning may have a "false recovery", in which the actual poisoning worsens after the early symptoms have disappeared.
