If this mushroom had its name written on it absolutely no one
in their right mind would f**k with it! The Destroying Angel,
that just screams “Eat me and you will die!”. And this pretty
much sums up these members of the genus Amanita.

They contain lethal doses of amatoxins and are responsible
for a large proportion of all mushroom related deaths. The ini-
tial symptoms of cramps, delirium, convulsions, vomiting and
diarrhea appear with a day of ingestion. Unfortunately, by this
time the toxins may have been absorbed causing irreversible
destruction of the kidney and, particularly, liver tissue. At this
point a liver transplant may be the only option if the patient is
to survive.
