The false morel mushroom or Gyromitra esculenta is a species often mistaken for the true morels that belong to the Morchella species. “Esculenta” is Latin for “edible,” but this mushroom poses a significant health risk when ingested. Gyromitra esculenta produces gyromitrin, which the body can metabolize into the more potent cytotoxin monomethylhydrazine. Patients may present with a gastrointestinal prodrome followed by signs of acute injury to the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system. This activity for healthcare professionals enhances learners’ proficiency in evaluating and managing Gyromitra mushroom toxicity. This course enhances learners’ competence when collaborating with an interprofessional team caring for patients with this condition.
