Beware of eating wild mushrooms! 🍄🟫Mushrooms can be found outside all around us, in parks, backyards, or walking outside. Kids can touch or potentially eat them, so make sure to be careful and watchful at all times, as some mushrooms are very toxic.
Some mushrooms, like death cap or western destroying angel mushrooms, are deadly. Due to increased cases of poisonous mushroom ingestion leading to deaths and liver transplants, CDPH has urged Californians to not eat any wild foraged mushrooms.
