Mushroom Toxins and Poisonous Mushrooms

In this webinar, we will shed light on the most important poisonous mushrooms and mushroom toxins – clear, practical, and without jargon. You will learn which poisonous mushrooms occur in our forests, how they affect the body, what typical latency periods are (time interval until the first appearance of symptoms), and how you can reliably identify them. We will discuss what symptoms can occur, how to react correctly in an emergency, and which first aid measures are truly effective. We will also debunk common myths and provide simple memory aids to distinguish dangerous look-alikes from edible species.
