In the submitted review the author gives an account on basic aspects of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention of mushroom poisoning. Mushroom poisoning is not caused only by toxic mushrooms (true intoxications) but under certain conditions also by edible mushrooms (false intoxications and pseudointoxications). The basis of primary prevention is not to pick and eat mushrooms which could damage health, and knowledge of basic facts, and types of mushroom poisoning. The main objectives of secondary prevention of mushroom poisoning are to prevent absorption of toxins from the digestive tract into the human organism and their effective elimination from the organism.
