Contact the Wisconsin Mycological Society


If you suspect a poisoning, contact a physician, the closest hospital ER, poison control center, or dial 9-1-1, depending on the severity of the reaction. US Poison Control is 1-800-222-1222
The NAMA also has some information on poisonings click here.

For help on fungi identifications . . .
You can post to Mushroom Observer & iNaturalist to find help with identification, including in our iNaturalist projects where individual members may have ideas. You can contact us with questions about how to get started on those sites, help with books or how to read identification keys, and more advice. We may or may not be able to reply promptly.
There are also many Facebook groups that are focused on identifying edible fungi. We suggest Wild Food Wisconsin or Mushroom Identification Group. Be sure to follow their guidelines! They will help you learn to take useful photos and provide useful information (ex: smell, nearby trees)
for identifying your mystery mushrooms.

Green Wood Cup, a Chlorociboria species, by Christine Rundblad (chelyse) on iNaturalist in our 2020 virtual foray -
Here is a link to Christine's observation! Check out how this type of fungi stains its wood substrate teal with a pigment it produces called xylindein. That naturally-dyed wood is used in some crafts.

If You Suspect a Poisoning
If you suspect you have consumed a poisonous mushroom, contact a physician, the closest hospital ER, poison control center, or dial 911, depending on the severity of the reaction.

US Poison Control: 1-800-222-1222
The North American Mycological Association (NAMA) has information that may also be of help. Click here.
​
 We do not ID mushrooms through this website. 
If you are in need of an ID consider uploading quality photos with multiple views of your specimen and descriptions of your find to Mushroom Observer or iNaturalist including our projects or post in Wild Food Wisconsin or Mushroom Identification Group.

If you contact us and provide a way to get back to you, we may be able to provide suggestions for more identification resources you can use.
You are always responsible for your own decisions taken on the basis of identification resources.
