Mushroom foraging in California’s forests has become a real health crisis, with a surge in poisonings linked to the deadly death cap mushroom. These look harmless—just like grocery store mushrooms—but can cause severe organ failure hours after eating. The recent spike in cases, especially around Monterey and the Bay Area, has put both kids and adults in the hospital, and even led to one death. With mushrooms popping up everywhere after heavy rains, officials are urging everyone: skip the wild picking and stick to store-bought varieties. Has anyone in your circle ever foraged for mushrooms? #Health #BodyHealth #California
