“…Moreover, the authors showed an increased incidence of pericardial inflammation in mice after the T. equestre diet [9]. In our study, we confirmed this observation after in vitro experiments but we did not present the mechanism of rhabdomyolysis as suggested by Rzymski et al [1].…”

“…Rzymski et al [1] showed also the big problem: if mycologists are not good in identifying mushroom species, what with case of people who are collecting Tricholoma species in forest without genetic tools. We have a lot of edible mushrooms which consumption is safe without any health consequence for humans; therefore, controversial T. equestre species, with unclear culinary and medicinal quality, should not be promoted.…”

“…It has been demonstrated quite extensively that a fruiting body that has the macroscopic characteristics of T. equestre can cause both human and animal poisonings. However, as discussed by several papers, the identification of the T. equestre group of mushrooms requires molecular–phylogenetic analyses [ 37 , 46 , 47 , 48 ]. It has also been pointed out that when poisonings were reported, there were no data about the sites where the mushrooms were collected, as soil contaminants, such as heavy metals, can be transmitted to fruiting bodies as toxins.…”

Mushroom poisonings remain a significant cause of emergency medicine. While there are well-known species, such as Amanita phalloides, causing life-threatening poisonings, there is also accumulating evidence of poisonings related to species that have been considered edible and are traditionally consumed. In particular, the Tricholoma equestre group was reported to cause myotoxicity. In addition, particular wild mushrooms that are traditionally consumed especially in Asia and Eastern Europe have been subject to suspicion due to possible mutagenicity. Hitherto, the causative agents of these effects often remain to be determined, and toxicity studies have yielded contradictory results. Due to this, there is no consensus about the safety of these species. The issue is further complicated by difficulties in species identification and other possible sources of toxicity, such as microbiological contamination during storage, leading to sometimes opposite conclusions about the edibility of a species. This review focuses on existing data about these types of mushroom poisonings, including the still sparse knowledge about the causative chemical agents. In addition, the aim is to initiate a meta-discussion about the issue and to give some suggestions about how to approach the situation from the viewpoint of the collector, the researcher, and the practicing physician.

Wild mushrooms are a vital source of income and nutrition for many poor communities and of value to recreational foragers. Literature relating to the edibility of mushroom species continues to expand, driven by an increasing demand for wild mushrooms, a wider interest in foraging, and the study of traditional foods. Although numerous case reports have been published on edible mushrooms, doubt and confusion persist regarding which species are safe and suitable to consume. Case reports often differ, and the evidence supporting the stated properties of mushrooms can be incomplete or ambiguous. The need for greater clarity on edible species is further underlined by increases in mushroom‐related poisonings. We propose a system for categorizing mushroom species and assigning a final edibility status. Using this system, we reviewed 2,786 mushroom species from 99 countries, accessing 9,783 case reports, from over 1,100 sources. We identified 2,189 edible species, of which 2,006 can be consumed safely, and a further 183 species which required some form of pretreatment prior to safe consumption or were associated with allergic reactions by some. We identified 471 species of uncertain edibility because of missing or incomplete evidence of consumption, and 76 unconfirmed species because of unresolved, differing opinions on edibility and toxicity. This is the most comprehensive list of edible mushrooms available to date, demonstrating the huge number of mushrooms species consumed. Our review highlights the need for further information on uncertain and clash species, and the need to present evidence in a clear, unambiguous, and consistent manner.
