List of poisonous mushrooms

by | Nov 8, 2023

Here is a list of poisonous and inedible mushroom species found in Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia. This is not a complete list but may help to serve as a reference for those who have a scientific name, but don’t know the edibility.

Edible and Poisonous are somewhat loosely defined. ‘Edible’ mushrooms can contain toxins, and some inedible mushrooms can be safely consumed after being properly prepared. Some mushrooms are toxic even after certain preparations.

Some of these mushrooms are deadly poisonous while others might be listed as inedible due to their small size, poor taste, or woody texture.
