By The Tox Lab

In this episode of The Tox Lab, we’re diving into the fascinating — and sometimes dangerous — world of mushrooms.

We explore ten years of mushroom exposure data reported to the UK National Poisons Information Service, examining the species most often involved and the mechanisms behind their toxicity. We also take a look at commercial products containing mushrooms and discuss a paper showing that some may not always contain what they claim.
