It's possible to pay too little attention to characteristics, which can lead to incorrect identification. Identifying mushrooms always involves a combination of different characteristics . Only very few mushrooms have unique characteristics. You can learn these characteristics through good literature, courses, and, ideally, from people with whom you can exchange ideas. Guided mushroom walks and visits to local mushroom clubs and associations are very useful.
Last week, a family in Hesse was admitted to the hospital with mushroom poisoning.
The liver is broken, they need a new one.
'Eat'
Essen University Hospital, indeed! Thank you!
…many things…for example, taking poisonous mushrooms and eating them. And you can die from them…for example, from the death cap .
Mistake: Collecting and eating poisonous mushrooms.
Case X: Death.

You can eat them all – some only once
The worst part? Collecting the death cap mushroom. 10 mg is enough to kill a healthy adult. So, a pinch and goodbye.
Various fungi decompose the liver days after eating it. You have to be very lucky to survive.

Yes, those were Syrians from Saarland. They're not the first. There might be confusion with the egg puffball. Apparently, no one knows for sure yet.
In Syria there is a doppelganger that is common and often collected

Yes, apparently in at least one case it is actually the egg puffball ( link ), even if the DGfM itself believes it is a myth.
