Mushroom is an important constituent of diet in many ethnic tribes in India. Ethnic Indian tribes are known to consume nearly 283 species of wild mushrooms out of 2000 species recorded world over.

We report amanita like toxicity in a family after consumption of wild mushrooms resulting in fatal outcome.
