Although both mycotoxicosis and mycetismus are acquired by vehicle transmission, they are ingested in different ways. Mycotoxicosis is a result of eating food that has become contaminated with fungi that have produced the toxins that are ingested. Aflatoxins are the best known mycotoxins. Mycetismus is a result of eating poisonous mushrooms. This usually occurs when a person picks and eats unidentified wild mushrooms.
