To prevent a plant poisoning Keep all houseplants out of a young child's reach. Know the name of all your plants, both indoors and outdoors. Label each of your plants with the correct botanical name. Mushrooms and berries are particularly attractive to young children. Teach your children never to put mushrooms, berries, or any part of a plant including leaves, flowers, stems, bulbs, or seeds in their mouths.
Mushrooms are especially abundant after a rainfall.
Remove mushrooms from your yard and dispose of properly after each rainfall. Do not assume a plant is non-poisonous because birds or wildlife eat it. Do not rely on cooking to destroy toxic chemicals in plants. If you suspect a poisoning, call the Minnesota Poison Control System immediately. A word about pets .
