Some timely advice around the risks of poisonous mushrooms in Victoria.

 

The following information has been taken from the Victorian State Government Department of Health and Austin Health Victorian Poisons Information Centre Page on poisonous mushrooms.

  • Poisonous mushrooms grow around Victoria, especially during the autumn months.
  • The Yellow-staining mushroom (Agaricus xanthodermus) is the most commonly-eaten poisonous mushroom in Victoria.
  • Consuming the Death Cap mushroom (Amanita phalloides) may result in death.
  • Unless you are an expert, do not pick and consume wild mushrooms in Victoria.
  • There is no ‘home test’ that can help you tell the difference between edible and poisonous mushrooms.
  • It is recommended that you only eat mushrooms you’ve bought from the supermarket, greengrocer or another reputable sources.
  • Symptoms include severe gastrointestinal upsets such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
  • If the person who has eaten the mushroom has collapsed, stopped breathing, is having a fit or is suffering an anaphylactic reaction, immediately ring triple zero (000) for an ambulance. 
  • If you suspect you, or anyone in your care, may have eaten a poisonous mushroom, don’t wait for symptoms to occur before seeking medical attention. Contact the Victorian Poisons Information Centre for advice (Tel 13 11 26).

Treatment for mushroom poisoning

 

If you suspect you or your child may have eaten a poisonous mushroom do not wait for symptoms to occur before seeking medical attention.

 

Contact the Victorian Poisons Information Centre (VPIC) immediately on Tel. 13 11 26 (24 hours, 7 days – Australia wide).

 

The VPIC staff member will take a brief history from you and give you the appropriate advice. It may be necessary for you to seek treatment through your doctor or the emergency department of your nearest hospital.

It helps to have a sample of the mushroom. VPIC staff may ask you to send them a photo of the wild mushroom to help in the species identification and risk assessment.

 

If the person has collapsed, stopped breathing, is having a fit or is suffering an anaphylactic reaction, immediately ring triple zero (000) for an ambulance.

Do not ring the Victorian Poisons Information Centre in an emergency.
