Death cap mushrooms, scientifically known as Amanita phalloides, are highly toxic and potentially deadly fungi that belong to the Amanita genus. They are known for their resemblance to edible mushrooms, making them particularly dangerous as they can be mistaken for safe varieties.

Death cap mushrooms contain powerful toxins, including amatoxins, which can cause severe liver and kidney damage if ingested.Symptoms of poisoning usually do not appear immediately, often taking 6 to 12 hours or more to manifest.

Initial symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. As the toxins progress, they can lead to liver and kidney failure, which can be fatal without prompt medical intervention.Death cap mushrooms are found in various parts of the world and are associated with oak, chestnut, and other trees.

It's crucial to be cautious when foraging for wild mushrooms, as misidentification can have tragic consequences. If there is any doubt about the safety of a mushroom, it's best to consult a mycologist or expert before consumption.


In this episode we get an update on the ongoing Mushroom Murder case in Australia and it would seem that there are more than a few holes in the narrative of Erin Patterson, who is the prime suspect in the murders.
