To prevent a plant poisoning Keep all houseplants out of young children's reach. Know the names 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 not poisonous because birds or wildlife eat it. Do not rely on cooking to destroy toxic chemicals in plants. Never use anything prepared from nature as a medicine or tea. If you suspect a poisoning, call your local poison control center immediately.
