Looking at the research materials provided, I need to synthesize information across multiple domains: the current outbreak data, existing regulatory frameworks, climate science connections, public health responses, and potential policy models from other jurisdictions.
Let me map out the key elements:
- Outbreak severity: 35-39 cases since November 2025, 3-4 deaths, 3 liver transplants - far exceeding the typical 2-5 cases annually
- Climate connection: Early rain + warm fall created "superbloom" conditions; range expansion documented from original 1938 introduction
- Current regulations: Fragmented across state parks, national forests, county ordinances; no California-specific wild mushroom certification requirement
- Affected populations: 60% Spanish-speaking; immigrants from Mexico and China disproportionately affected due to lookalike confusion
- Policy models: Several states require certification for commercial wild mushroom sales; EU has various approaches including proficiency tests in
