According to nutritionist Sania Kiyani, mushrooms are an important part of our daily diet, used in a variety of dishes from home kitchens to restaurants. They are not only an excellent source of vitamins but are also used medicinally to treat various illnesses.
She says that although mushrooms are beneficial for health, it is essential to ensure they are not poisonous before consumption — because toxic mushrooms often appear beautiful and resemble regular edible ones, making them hard to identify.
Sania Kiyani explains that there are some signs that can help with initial identification, but she advises not to pick or touch wild mushrooms growing along footpaths, in backyards, or open fields.For safe use, she recommends buying only mushrooms with verified labels.

Queensland research finds inhaled vaccine effective tuberculosis protection
A research team from north Queensland has found delivering the tuberculosis (TB) vaccine directly to the lungs could create stronger protection against the world's deadliest infectious disease. There is one available vaccine to protect against TB, developed in 1921, with little known about why the vaccine sometimes stops offering protection in adolescence. World Health Organisation data revealed 10.8 million new TB infections globally in 2023 and 1.3 million deaths. The team from James Cook University found that administering a stronger strain of the only existing Bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccine, or BCG, generated an effective immune response in the lungs. "This link between how the body repairs the lung after minor injury and how that can lead to better protection against tuberculosis is really what this study is about," associate professor Andreas Kupz, who led the study, said. TB is primarily spread through the air when a person with active tuberculosis disease coughs, sneezes or speaks. Dr Kupz said high global rates of TB were in part due to the limited efficacy of the only licensed vaccine, developed to protect adults in 1921 via a shot to the arm. "Because it is delivered as an injection after birth, it often doesn't produce long-term protection against respiratory infections," he said. Dr Kupz said the team's research could hold several important implications for the development of a more effective TB vaccine, eventually saving lives. TB has largely been eradicated from Australia, but is more common in northern Australia, particularly in Cape York and Torres Strait Islands. The latest available Queensland Health data shows the state treated 189 people for TB infections in 2023. Dr Kupz said Cape York and the Torres Strait Islands were most susceptible because of their proximity to Papua New Guinea, which experiences high rates of infection. "Papua New Guinea is actually a hotspot for tuberculosis globally, not just in terms of the numbers of TB they have, but also drug-resistant strains," he said. Port Moresby-based health advocate Anne Clarke said the 45,000 TB cases recorded in Papua New Guinea in the past year were a significant strain on the health system and economy. "The exposure of the wider community to this infectious disease agent is about 100 per cent in this town," Dr Clarke said. "Everybody is affected." Dr Kupz said he hoped his team's research would eventually lead to more effective protection against infections. "Pending ethical approvals, we hope to see it go to human trial by the end of 2026 or early 2027," he said.

Could it be meningococcal? Australia approaches the high-risk disease's peak season
Two years ago, Jacob Blackwell was a fit tradesman with a love of sports - until a devastating bout of meningococcal disease turned his life upside down. Within two days he went from feeling lethargic to experiencing delusions. In hospital, doctors put him in an induced coma and saved his life. But he suffered severe long-term complications, losing the ability to do even basic tasks. "Everything I had to learn to do again, so eating, talking - back to square one. Think of it as an 18-month-old, just learning to do everything again." His mother Chelsea Blackwell remembers her shock on seeing the illness take hold of her son. "I actually couldn't comprehend what I'd seen. I opened the door, I looked and I was just like hmmm. Jacob didn't look like Jacob because his brain had already been swollen so his eyes were protruding and his skin was breaking a little bit. So they actually thought initially he had been assaulted." Meningococcal disease is caused by bacteria, called neisseria meningitidis, which most people carry in the back of their throat at some point in their lives. But when that bacteria turns invasive it can enter the brain or the bloodstream, causing potentially life-threatening infection. General Practitioner Dr Sam Hay says the disease can progress dangerously quickly. "It often starts with a flu-like illness, bit of a cold, bit of a runny nose, a bit of a cough. But then it progresses, fevers and (the patient) becomes very, very sick after that. People can go downhill within 24 to 48 hours." As Australia enters peak season for meningococcal, there's a national campaign ((launched Monday)) to raise awareness of the disease which primarily affects young adults and children. Doctors say the illness is on the rise, with 56 cases already reported this year - 18 of those in New South Wales. Dr Sam Hay says infections can have devastating consequences. "One in 10 people who get the invasive meningococcal can unfortunately pass away. One in five get these significant side-effects, complications, that could be brain damage, loss of limbs, hearing loss, and the list goes on.' Paralympic swimmer and bronze medallist Jay Dohnt contracted meningococcal when he was in high school. After feeling sick and developing a rash, he went to see a GP. Just 24 hours after developing symptoms, he was in intensive care. "The ambulance was still in precautionary mode, they didn't even put the lights on to take me to a hospital. At the hospital, it was a different story. They all met me out in the carpark, and took it very seriously. That evening (I was) hooked up to everything in the intensive care unit and given a 97 per chance of dying, or a 3 per cent chance of living. I wasn't conscious for the first two weeks, and I don't remember much from the first two months of a five-and-a-half month hospital stay. But this is essentially the end result - a bilateral knee amputee. Missing my patella (kneecap) in my left leg, lost four fingers on my right hand as well. So very life-changing for a teenager who loved sport." It's these life-altering impacts that lead Karen Quick, CEO of Meningitis Centre Australia, to stress the importance of early detection, urging parents to push for answers. "It's really important as parents that we're aware of all the signs and symptoms, that we trust our instincts and we get help straight away. Go straight to the hospital, straight to the doctor, and ask the question - could it be meningococcal?" Dr Sam Hay warns people not to wait until they have developed a rash as by then, it could be already too late. "When it gets into the blood stream, that's when you get the septicaemia and that then goes on to the rash. But the problem is that the rash, while it is dangerous, it happens late. And if you are looking for that, things have gone too far." Two years after his brush with meningococcal, Jay Blackwell is still working on his recovery. Inspired by Paralympian and fellow survivor Jay, he has taken up swimming and says, despite many challenges, the future is looking bright. "You kind of adapt to the life you live now you don't really think about your old life. As hard as it has been, I kind of like to take every day as my glass half full, pretty well. There's all these opportunities that I couldn't even imagine.'

Widespread wage theft across childcare sector and pressure on overworked staff, research reveals
Unsustainable expectations on childcare workers are leading to "massive burnout" and compromising child safety, according to a first-of-its-kind Australian study. It also found widespread wage theft across the sector, with more than 70 per cent of educators working an average of 7–9 hours of unpaid work each week. The research from the University of Sydney comes amid a crisis of confidence in the industry following revelations about poor child safety standards at some centres and allegations of child sexual abuse by a worker in Victoria. "Over 70 per cent of our educators say that they are working unpaid hours every single week and for those educators, they're reporting an average of 9 unpaid hours each week — we end up with massive burnout," said lead researcher Dr Erin Harper from Sydney University. The study was based on a survey of almost 600 educators. "Another significant finding was educators' concerns around workload and how that is then interfering with their ability to provide quality education and care," she said. Childcare worker Yingzhao Zhu has worked across some 50 centres over a decade and said staff were struggling, not just with caring for the children but with the hours of administration, cleaning and even taking out the rubbish — tasks known in the industry as "non-contact" time. "To be very honest, doing all of those things in a day and over the weeks, it's pretty hard," Ms Zhu said. Dr Harper's research found the mounting toll of those tasks being spread between too few workers meant staff were only spending 2.5 hours of quality time with children every day. "In our study, over 70 per cent of educators are telling us they are concerned that children are not getting enough of their time," Dr Harper said. "And over 70 per cent are specifically identifying non-contact workload as detracting from quality within their service." Penny* is a childcare worker at a not-for-profit provider, who spoke to ABC News on the condition her identity be protected to allow her to speak freely about problems at her workplace. Childcare workers like Penny are required by law to have a number of "non-contact" hours to design lessons and materials for the children. She said the centre continually pushing to enrol more children meant she was often forced to complete this work in her own time, with implications for the children in her care. "I engage students throughout the whole day but when I have those stressful situations, it affects my work even though I don't want to show it," Penny said. Do you have a story to share? Email She said the centre was forced to rely on casual workers to complete required administrative work or to fill staffing holes, which increased the risk of accidents because they did not have a relationship with the children. "When you change with another educator and then an accident occurs, it's frustrating because if I was there, because of the relationship, it might be avoided," she said. That dynamic put pressure on her to put the children first, which meant completing administrative work unpaid and out of hours. Carolyn Smith from the United Workers Union said employers were taking advantage of staff who were often intrinsically motivated to work in the sector to care for children. "It's impacting educators, it's impacting children and it's certainly impacting quality and safety of care." Dr Harper would like her research to lead to a stocktake of all the tasks childcare workers are required to complete, which often includes providing lengthy updates for parents. That would allow a more realistic appraisal of the number of staff required and better-quality care. "When we look at educators' paid hours, then non-contact workload accounts for about 25 per cent of their time," Dr Harper said. "But when we account for the entirety of their work hours, so including those unpaid hours, it increases to about 40 per cent." In a statement, Minister for Early Childhood Education Jess Walsh said the findings of the report were "troubling". "The foundation of quality in early education is supporting a stable and dedicated workforce," Ms Walsh said. "That's why the Albanese Government is rolling out a 15 per cent pay rise to early educators so they can afford to stay in the sector to provide quality education and care." Ms Walsh said advertised vacancies had fallen by a little more than 25 per cent this year. *Name changed to protect identity.
