They are collected for consumption generally by local people and it is possible to see them as well as the cultivated ones in some local markets of the city in certain times of the year. On the other hand it is known that wild fungi have been the cause of serious poisonings even loss of life of people in Istanbul. Serious or fatal cases of poisoning seen in autumn in particular are due 0 to the consumption of toxic fungi.
