On October 5, Comune di Scalea published an autumn mushroom-safety campaign with a handbook and a brief guide from ASP Cosenza. This makes safety information accessible; it does not announce a new local course or advice centre.

A practical step before eating: have your own harvest checked by the public health service's mycology unit. The attached guide says checks for private consumption are free. Before travelling, confirm the current location, availability and hours with ASP; the municipal announcement does not establish new opening hours for Scalea.

Resemblance to a photograph, internet advice or a home test does not certify edibility. If health problems occur after eating mushrooms, seek urgent professional help rather than waiting for them to disappear. The source advises giving healthcare staff information about the meal and any leftovers.

The municipality's link provides the complete documents. Our brief overview is for residents and new neighbours, not a substitute for professional inspection. The accompanying picture is a neutral illustration, not a mushroom-identification aid.
