On Thursday, Sacramento County Public Health announced that they had recently confirmed four cases of amatoxin poisoning. The cases can be traced to people accidentally eating Death Cap or Western Destroying Angel mushrooms.
"We understand that people may not realize the risk of mushroom foraging right now, because these mushrooms can closely resemble edible types," said Dr. Olivia Kasirye, Sacramento County Public Health Officer, in a statement. "That's why we're urging residents to avoid wild mushroom foraging altogether and to seek immediate help if exposure is suspected."
Northern and Central California have seen dozens of cases of amatoxin poisoning since November 2025. At least 35 cases have been reported along with four deaths.
Californians are being urged to only eat mushrooms purchased from trusted grocery stores and retailers.
