Plants and mushrooms can cause permanent disability or even death. Others may cause rashes, vomiting or other unpleasant, but not life threatening, reactions.

We’ve included some poisonous plants and mushrooms, however if a poisoning or suspected poisoning occurs contact us on 13 11 26 without delay.

Toxicity categories

  • These plants are known to cause injury, permanent disability, and in some cases, death. Don't plant these and remove any existing plants you have.
  • How toxic these are depend on the level of exposure. You shouldn’t grow these where young children will have access to them, such as at preschools and childcare centres. Toddlers may be at greater risk because of their habit of tasting things and small body size. You should supervise children carefully around these plants.
  • These plants can irritate your skin and eyes if you come into contact with their sap, prickles, spines or stinging hairs. Don’t let children near them.
  • Pollen or perfume from this plant can cause breathing problems. This isn't an asthma friendly plant.
