The largest number of incidents occurred in 2020, accounting for 34.36% (56/163) of the total. Poisonous mushroom poisoning mainly occurred from June to October. Enshi Prefecture and Yichang City were the areas with high incidence of poisonous mushroom poisoning, and households were the main sources of poisonous mushroom poisoning places that occurred accounted for 93.87%(153/163) of the total number of incidents. The proportion of rural poisonous mushroom poisoning incidents was much higher than that in urban areas, and accidental picking and eating was the only cause of poisoning mushroom poisoning.ConclusionPoisonous mushroom poisoning is the main cause of death from food-borne disease outbreaks in Hubei Province.
