Can beer be consumed with wild mushrooms?

Generally, beer and wild mushrooms should not be consumed together and should be eaten at different times. Although some wild mushrooms are non-toxic, certain components they contain may react chemically with the ethanol present in alcohol, generating toxins. When wild mushrooms are consumed simultaneously with beer, it may lead to poisoning symptoms such as hemolysis, yellowing of the eyes, tea-colored urine, and even auditory and visual hallucinations. Consuming beer can also affect liver function, weakening its detoxification ability. Some wild mushrooms contain trace amounts of toxins, and drinking beer may double the amount of toxins entering the body. When picking wild mushrooms, avoid those with bright colors and pungent odors, and stick to familiar, non-toxic varieties. If discomfort arises after eating mushrooms, induce vomiting by drinking warm water or saltwater to expel any residual, unabsorbed mushrooms and reduce the absorption of toxic substances. For severe symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. Individuals allergic to wild mushrooms or beer should avoid consuming them as it may trigger allergic reactions such as skin itching, redness, and rashes. If discomfort occurs after ingestion, medical attention should be sought promptly.
