Abstract
A Vietnamese family living in the Pacific Northwest harvested several wild mushrooms grown in their front lawn. All three in the family suffered from delayed GI symptoms starting approximately 12 h after ingestion. One patient died and two developed hepatic injury. We provide photography and describe common characteristics of Amanita phalloides mushroom.
