Like other foods, mushrooms can become contaminated by bacteria, viruses, and toxins. With mushroom consumption on the rise and mushroom foraging increasing in popularity, public health surveillance is essential for the early detection and treatment of mushroom-related illnesses.

Join the Integrated Food Safety Centers of Excellence on May 8th from 12-1 pm (MT) for this webinar where we will talk with experts about mushroom-associated illnesses and the role of public health. Topics will include illness from improperly prepared or foraged mushrooms and bacterial contamination.
