CDPH advises avoiding foraging or eating wild mushrooms right now.

Toxic death cap mushrooms (Amanita phalloides) are growing across the Bay Area during the rainy season. These mushrooms can look like edible varieties but are extremely poisonous and have caused severe illness and deaths.

Cooking does not make death cap mushrooms safe to eat.

If you or someone you know may have eaten a poisonous mushroom:
📞 Call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222
🩺 Contact a health care provider right away
