Abstract:
It is very difficult to discern edible mushrooms such as Naematololma sublateritium from toxic mushrooms such as Naematololma. fasciculare in the natural environment. We experienced a case of a patient who accidentally ingested Naematololma. fasciculare. The patient was admitted to the emergency department with nonspecific abdominal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Treatment involved supportive care instead of gastric lavage and charcoal, since their effectiveness is unproven for relief of mushroom intoxication.
