Several people have been admitted to Sørlandet Hospital after eating poisonous mushrooms. This is stated by the hospital in a press release to local media. – It has been many years since we have seen a similar number of patients with kidney failure due to poisonous mushrooms, says head of department Thor Kristian Støle at the medical department at Sørlandet hospital in a press release quoted by both Avisen Kristiansand and Fædrelandsvennen. The newspaper Kristiansand writes that they have been in contact with the emergency department, which does not want to say anything about how many have been admitted. According to the newspaper, the people have ingested poison ivy. The fungus is common in acidic and moist spruce forests, especially in southern Norway, according to Store norske lexikon.
