ABSTRACT

We present two cases with mushroom poisoning. Both cases had been exposed to wild mushrooms and manifested clinical features of hepatic failure, one of them die and the other remitted with treatment without sequels. The patients belonged to different families whose members ingested mushrooms and also presented clinical features of intoxication, dying five of them. This topic is reviewed.
