Australia has been gripped by a story out of Victoria where three people died after eating a meal of wild mushrooms. Police investigations are continuing. One man remains in a critical condition in hospital.

So, how prevalent are deadly mushrooms? What should we look out for? What happens when you're poisoned? And how often are people hospitalised after consuming mushrooms.

In this episode of The Briefing, we're joined by Diego Bonetto "The Weedy One" Forager to take us on a journey of mushroom discovery.
