poisonous fungi
Toxic forest growths
Poisonous fungi are mushrooms and other fungi that cause illness or death when eaten.
Some are deadly—*Amanita phalloides* (death cap) destroys the liver—while others cause vomiting, hallucinations, or organ damage.
The phrase appears in field guides and foraging warnings: Never eat wild mushrooms unless you can distinguish poisonous fungi from edible species.
