Description
Yi Ru and co-authors report, in 2025, a case of anaphylaxis triggered by an edible mushroom in a patient allergic to mold. Fungi in food can cross-react with airborne molds, a pattern called fungus food allergy syndrome. After eating seafood mushrooms, the patient suffered a severe reaction.
Testing pointed to a shared allergen, Alt a 1, linking the mold Alternaria alternata with the mushroom species. That mediator had not previously been documented for this syndrome. The authors warn that mushrooms can provoke anaphylaxis in mold-allergic patients and urge clinicians to ask about mold allergy when reactions to fungal foods appear.
