Death by edible mushroom: first report of Volvariella volvacea as an etiologic agent of invasive disease in a patient following double umbilical cord blood transplantation.


ABSTRACT: We describe a case of invasive fungal infection caused by Volvariella volvacea following double umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT). Although infections caused by several mushroom species have been documented, we believe this to be the first published report of invasive infection with Volvariella volvacea, an edible mushroom belonging to Agaricales.
