Suggest Treatment For Food Poisoning
I have a photo of a mushroom that my husband picked from our backyard in Missouri and added to his omelet this morning (mushroom was uncooked though). He is now vomiting and has a horribly upset stomach, but refuses to let me take him to a doctor about it. I'm trying to identify this mushroom online but can't find a definitive answer. Can I share this photo with someone on here to help me figure out if he needs to go to the ER?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Some advice that I can give to you is:
-Avoid food for the first few hours as your stomach settles down.
-Drink water, broth, or an electrolyte solution, which will replace the minerals that you lose with vomiting and diarrhea.
-Eat when you feel ready, but start with small amounts of bland, nonfatty foods such as toast, rice, and crackers.
-Get plenty of rest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
