An attempt was made to record mushroom poisonings in Czechoslovakia within one district (South Bohemian region with 1.5 million inhabitants). In 1965, there were 28 poisonings involving 48 people and 1 death. 42 people were hospitalized for a total of 239 days. The most serious poisonings were caused by Gyromitra esculenta, while the most frequent poisonings were due to Amanita pantherina.
