Rospotrebnadzor reported that the cause of mushroom poisoning in Gelendzhik was a violation of the technology for their preparation.
The affected Russians were collecting butter mushrooms, russula and milk mushrooms in the forest and forest plantations of the Gelendzhik region.
Instead of pre-boiling the mushrooms as required, they immediately started frying them, which caused the poisoning, RBC reports.
According to Rospotrebnadzor, the number of mushroom poisonings in the Krasnodar region has decreased in recent years.
However, the department reminds that it is important to collect only well-known types of mushrooms, avoiding overripe and wormy ones, and not to collect mushrooms near cities, highways, and railways.
In addition, Rospotrebnadzor reminded that honey mushrooms, russula and porcini mushrooms have poisonous counterparts.
Victims of mushroom poisoning in the Gelendzhik region did not follow the required technology when preparing mushrooms.
