Mushroom poisoning
We are, unfortunately, unable to give advice on suspected mushroom poisoning. If you think someone may have eaten a poisonous mushroom, take them to your local accident and emergency unit. If possible, take with you a sample of the mushroom, several if you can, and try to dig out the whole of the stem including any root. Samples will keep better in a plastic or cardboard box than in a plastic bag.
