(ANSA) - Rome, October 12 - A two-year-old girl who was
admitted to a Bergamo hospital after eating poisonous mushrooms

from mushrooms they had gathered in the wild and cooked into a
sauce, but only the girl needed surgery to fully recover due to
her age.The prognosis for a 30-year-old man who underwent a liver transplant on Monday in Rome's Gemelli Hospital after eating poisonous mushrooms is "positive," doctors said on Friday.
