Death cap mushrooms kill three and leave others needing organ transplants as DOZENS of California foragers hospitalized

Death cap mushrooms in California have killed three people, and left more than two dozen poisoned, as officials continue to issue warnings to foragers in the state.

Sonoma County health officials issued an advisory on Thursday to not eat wild mushrooms after the death of a man, who consumed them last weekend.

Throughout the state, there were 35 cases of wild mushroom poisoning, resulting in three deaths and three liver transplants, between November 18 and January 4, according to the statement.

Normally, fewer than five cases throughout the state in total would be expected.

'Early rains and a mild fall have led to profusion of the toxic death cap mushrooms in Northern California,' said Sonoma County interim health officer Dr Michael Stacey.

On December 5, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) said that cases of poisoning were linked to foraging of wild death cap mushrooms.

The death cap, also known as the Amanita phalloides, looks and tastes similar to edible varieties, such as field mushrooms.

The advisory warned that even cooking, boiling, drying, or freezing will still not make the mushrooms safe to eat.

Foraging for wild mushrooms is a gourmet version of Russian roulette.

Yes, but the sex was good.

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Australian woman to be sentenced after being found guilty of killing lunch guests with poisoned Beef Wellington
Updated 12:18 PM EDT, Fri September 5, 2025
By Hilary Whiteman, CNN

 Erin Patterson, the Australian woman accused of killing three relatives with a meal of death cap mushrooms baked in a Beef Wellington lunch, will be sentenced on Monday morning after she was found guilty of three counts of murder and the attempted murder of the lone survivor.   ...

 The agreed facts were that Patterson asked five people to lunch on July 29, 2023, including her estranged husband Simon Patterson, who pulled out the day before.

Within hours of the meal, the four lunch guests – Simon’s parents Don and Gail, and his aunt and uncle, Heather and Ian Wilkinson – became ill with vomiting and diarrhea. They went to hospital where they were placed in induced comas as doctors tried to save them.

Gail and Heather died on August 4 from multiorgan failure, followed by Don on August 5, after he failed to respond to a liver transplant. Ian Wilkinson survived and was finally discharged from hospital in late September, after almost two months of intensive treatment.   ...

Obviously, the name, "Death Cap", is an insufficient warning.  Those mushrooms need Surgeon General's Warning labels.

"Death Cap" - great name for a heavy metal band.
