A woman whose husband and children were rushed to the hospital after consuming poisonous mushrooms shared her story on TikTok to warn others.

In her video, Mas (@mas.ita) said her husband plucked about 10 mushrooms that grew around their house for her to cook.

While preparing to cook the mushrooms, Mas said the mushrooms looked similar to cendawan busut (Termitomyces mushroom) but also realised something different about them.

Some of the things she noticed were the super soft texture of the mushroom, a ring on the stem, and there were a lot of powdery substances falling from the mushroom.

@mas.ita semoga memberi pengajaran buat kita semua,agar kita dapat kenal pasti cendawan yg boleh mkn & tidak boleh makan,sangat bahaya muntah sampai nk pengsan,lemah longlai,suami teruk sikit sbb makan banyak,anak disuap sedikit& sy mkn sikit#fypシ #tiktokviral #cendawan #cendawangoreng #MYFoodie ♬ Instrumen Sholawat Sedih – Yuda pratama

However, she ignored her instinct and decided to cook the mushrooms as the family had not eaten mushrooms for a long time.

While cooking, she also noticed that the sauce had turned into a greenish hue.

After lunch, the family started having an upset stomach and realised the mushrooms were poisonous.

She quickly threw the mushrooms away and called emergency services as her husband couldn’t drive in his weakened state.

Mas hopes everyone will learn from her family’s mistakes so they do not experience a similar outcome.

While netizens gave some tips to identify safe mushrooms, it’s still better to stick to mushrooms sold in the market or in stores. Safety above all else.
