Mushroom consumption is widespread throughout the world and mushroom foraging is often seen as a recreational activity. However, mushroom hunters, especially if inexperienced, may not fully perceive the risks associated with ingesting potentially toxic mushroom species. It is fundamental that mushrooms must be professionally inspected and their quality and safety approved before being ingested.
