The Utah Poison Control Center recently learned of a possible death associated with eating poisonous mushrooms. Public health authorities are still investigating the case. The patient ate what they thought were hallucinogenic (“magic”) mushrooms and then had severe vomiting and diarrhea. The patient developed evidence of liver failure and died shortly after in the hospital. “Magic” mushrooms do not cause liver damage. Liver failure from eating misidentified mushrooms does occur, but there has never been a case in Utah. If someone has unusual symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea after eating mushrooms, call the Utah Poison Control Center anytime 24/7 at 1-800-222-1222. It’s free and confidential. https://poisoncontrol.utah.edu/news/2024/12/safety-alert-psychedelic-mushrooms-death
