Episode Details

South Australias health department warns of deadly death cap mushrooms in Adelaide Hills, especially after recent rains. These fungi, known as Amanita phalloides, can be lethal even in small doses and are often mistaken for safe ones. Authorities advise against wild foraging and to stick to store-bought mushrooms. Last year saw fewer cases, but twelve still required hospitalization. Death caps often grow near oaks, beeches, chestnuts, and hazelnuts. If someone or a pet ingests a suspected death cap, contact the Poisons Information Centre immediately.
