Abstract

Worldwide outbreaks of food-related illnesses brought on by wild mushroom poisoning have raised questions about food safety. On an annual basis, we hear a lot of stories from all over the globe concerning people eating toxic mushrooms. Scientists are interested in it, notably in the areas of hazardous substance composition, process, and its use in poisonous mushrooms. The toxins which are present in poisonous mushrooms are quickly taken in by blood vessels and travel straight towards their aimed target despite withstanding the extremes of the temperature of cooking and the digestive acids. However, patients must be aware that in 95% of instances, the nature of fungus and toxins is unknown, thus evaluation and therapy rely on the symptoms they are experiencing at the time of hospitalization. Clinical syndromes associated with mushroom poisoning include fulminate hepatic failure, immediate failure of the renal system, rhabdomyolysis, erythromelalgia, haemorrhage, gastroenteritis, mental disturbance, and irritation of the skin. The aim of this review is to explain poisonous mushrooms, the medical symptoms of toxic mushrooms, different noxious, and how they are used medically.
