General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.
After eating mushrooms, suspected poisoning or symptoms require an immediate call to a poison centre, without waiting for them to worsen. If someone loses consciousness or has respiratory distress, call 15 or 112.
A toxic species can resemble an edible one. A place where you previously found edible mushrooms does not guarantee that a new harvest is safe.
Pick only species you know thoroughly. Keep specimens in good condition, including the stem and cap, and separate species in a basket so they can be identified.
If there is any doubt, do not eat the harvest before an appropriate check. Find a pharmacist with the relevant expertise or a mycology association; not every pharmacist offers mushroom identification.
A phone identification app is not enough to establish that a mushroom is edible. A photograph of the harvest may help after poisoning, but does not replace checking the actual specimens.
During the poison-centre call, give the time of the meal and of any symptoms. Keep the remaining mushrooms for identification; symptoms can be delayed, which is no reason to postpone calling.
