Changes

The following updates have been made in the ‘Mushrooms for human consumption’ BICON case.

On the list of restricted medicinal mushrooms:

• Pachyma cocos and Wolfiporia cocos have been added as synonyms of Wolfiporia extensa.

On the list of permitted dried or frozen mushrooms for human consumption:

• Annulohypoxylon stygium (synonym: Hypoxylon stygium) has been reinstated.
• Dictyophora duplicata has been added as a synonym for Phallus indusiatus.

These changes do not include any updates to the import conditions for fresh mushrooms.
