Podcast # 486: Morel Mushrooms

Contributor: Nick Hatch, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • True morel mushrooms are commonly foraged
  • The false morel mushroom (Gyromitra esculenta) looks similar to the true morel, but is toxic
  • False morel mushroom toxicity can cause gastrointestinal symptoms as well as liver failure, rhabdomyolysis, and seizures
  • Seizures can be refractory to benzodiazepine therapy and may require use of vitamin B6 and propofol
