Death cap mushroom (Amanita phalloides) growing on a woodland floor. This is the most poisonous mushroom known. It grows in woodland,usually oak,in late summer and autumn throughout Europe and North America. Symptoms begin up to a day after the mushrooms are eaten,and usually start with stomach pains,vomiting and diarrhoea,which may last 24 hours or more. This is usually followed by an apparent recovery,but death occurs within a few days from liver and kidney failure. Treatment must begin very soon after ingestion to prevent death | |
