There is no effective treatment for this kind of poisoning, Iran’s Tasnim News Agency reports.

Many of the victims may need liver transplants, it said, quoting an unnamed health ministry official.

People have been urged not to buy loose mushrooms and only purchase those packed and sealed in shops.

According to BBC Persian, mushrooms can sometimes be seen for sale in the street in Iran, and local folk wisdom about which are safe to eat can be unreliable.

Around 10 provinces are believed to have been affected, with seven of the dead hailing from the Kermanshah area.
