California Death Cap Super Bloom and SpaceX Lunar City Shift
California health officials are sounding the alarm after four people died and several others required liver transplants from eating toxic death cap mushrooms. The state has recorded over three dozen poisonings since November, driven by a super bloom following heavy winter rains. Experts warn that the mushrooms, which often grow under oak trees, are easily confused with edible varieties by foragers. The poisonings have impacted diverse communities, leading the state to issue warnings in Spanish, Mixteco, and Mandarin. This deadly spike comes as the California Department of Public Health urges the public to avoid foraging entirely this season and rely on trusted commercial sellers for mushrooms.
