Amanita phalloides is one of the most poisonous fungi in the world and is responsible for most deaths caused by mycetism. Mushroom growers must be very careful because this mushroom looks like an edible mushroom (lat. Amanita cesarea).
Just 30 grams of this mushroom is enough to kill a man. The main venom of the green bud is α-amanitin, a substance that is toxic to the liver and kidneys. Symptoms of poisoning usually appear only after 24 hours have passed since the consumption of the mushroom, which makes the diagnosis difficult, and it is too late for therapeutic gastric emptying. The first symptoms are diarrhea and abdominal cramps, but they spontaneously stop causing the patient to think that he has recovered. However, after 4-5 days, liver and kidney failure occurs, which in many cases leads to death. The only real cure at this stage is an emergency liver transplant. Similar to the green bud, the poison ivy (lat. Amanita verna) and the stink bug (lat. Amanita virosa) are equally poisonous.
