ORIGINAL FACTSHEET LAYOUT AND PDF DOCUMENT DEVELOPED BY:

Poisoning is mostly the consequence of confusion with other edible mushroom species but, in some cases also, of poisonous species collection by people who are totally unaware of the existence of toxic mushrooms therefore not asking for specialized advice before consuming them. Several tools to reduce the number of poisoning by prevention are presented in this factsheet :
– Prevention tools deployed by ANSES (National Agency for Health Security)
– Mobile applications for mushroom recognition

Keywords: edible mushrooms | poisoning | wild mushroom picking
