The dark side of black mushrooms
There have been cases of poisoning involving different types of "black mushrooms," some accidental and others potentially intentional. For example, a Salmonella outbreak was linked to dried "Wood Ear Mushrooms," also known as "Black Fungus," which resulted in 41 illnesses.
Some "black mushrooms" can contain dangerous substances like bongkrekic acid, produced by a bacteria. This can lead to severe food poisoning with symptoms like abdominal pain and vomiting, and in severe cases, liver damage and even death.
There are reports of poisonous mushrooms being used in historical cases of murder, like the Roman Emperor Claudius who was allegedly poisoned with "Amanita" mushrooms.
