A dish of sautéed mushrooms risked being lethal for two seventy-year-old sisters from Sassari. They mistook a subincarnate Lepiota (potentially deadly) collected in a park in Genoa, where they were, for a Marasmius oreades (commonly Gambesecche, edible): one is hospitalized in intensive care in the hospital of the Ligurian capital, the other in 'Urgency in Sassari.
The facts date back to Wednesday: the two sisters were in Genoa, where one of the two lives. They collected and cooked the mushroom. After lunch the first symptoms of the gastrointestinal system appeared , such as unstoppable vomiting, violent abdominal pain and nausea. One of the two was immediately hospitalized. The sister had left for Sassari and ended up at Santissima Annunziata the following day.
The Sassari Local Health Authority invites consumers of wild mushrooms to always contact the company's mycologist before consuming them: he is an expert capable of classifying and making an exact selection of mushrooms for free.
