Poisonous Mushrooms in Japan/日本の毒キノコ

Here I attempt to list some poisonous mushrooms in Japan. The list is not exhaustive; just think of it as a starting point if you ever want to go mushroom hunting in Japan. If you cannot identify specific mushrooms, contact your nearest health department (hokenjo 保健所 ほけんじょ）. In Japan, unlike in other countries like France and Germany, pharmacies do not provide free mushroom identification service.
日本の毒キノコの一部をリストアップしようと思います。完全なリストではありません。日本でキノコ狩りに行こうと思った際のスターティングポイントと思って下さい。同定（特定）できないキノコがあったら、保健所に相談して下さい。日本では、フランスやドイツなどの外国と異なり、薬局は無料でキノコを同定するというサービスは行っていません。

1. Tsukiyotake ツキヨタケ (Omphalotus guepiniformis, Omphalotus japonicus)
Symptoms: Vomiting, stomachache, frequent diarrhea
Responsible for the most mushroom poisoning cases in Japan.
