A Prolonged Course of Amanita muscaria Mushroom Poisoning

Alexandra M Amaducci*, Andrew L Koons, Christopher Lenivy, Robert D Cannon

We report the case of a 56 year old male patient who presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with altered mental status and reported Amanita muscaria mushroom ingestion. Amanita muscaria or fly agaric mushrooms are known to be poisonous to humans and hallucinogenic by nature. However, the prognosis of the poisoning is generally minor and short-lived, lasting less than 24 hours.
