Abstract

Shiitake (Lentinus edodes) is nowadays the second most commonly produced edible mushroom in the world. Two patients complained of severe itching and showed widespread disseminated very small erythematous papule and characteristic linear grouped erythematous papules after scratching (Kobner phenomenon). Here we report two cases of mushroom intolerance which developed after ingestion of boiled or cooked shiitake mushrooms.
