Mushroom poisoning may present with a variety of clinical conditions, extending from simple food poisoning to life-threatening liver and renal failure. Rhabdomyolysis is a recently described syndrome that is observed within the clinical spectrum associated with mushroom poisoning. In this report, we present two patients-one presenting with a state of rhabdomyolysis and the other case with simple symptoms only-following consumption of cultivated mushroom together in the same meal.
