Summary
Eleven people, including a child, were rushed to the hospital in Gardiner, Montana, after eating wild mushrooms — a sobering reminder that foraging can be deadly. Emergency crews responded to a vacation rental with life flights en route, as officials confirm this was an accidental poisoning with no public threat beyond standard foraging risks. DNA analysis is underway to identify the toxic species, since only fragments were recovered. The incident echoes last year’s tragic morel mushroom poisoning at a Bozeman restaurant that claimed two lives. Mycologists stress the need for expert identification using trusted field guides — not apps — and proper cooking to avoid danger. All 11 remain hospitalized, conditions ranging from serious to stable, underscoring the critical message: never underestimate the risks of wild mushrooms.
