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.

According to sources the woman, Erin Patterson, who is accused of poisoning her in laws with the deadly fungi, was a forager of Fungi and she would know the diffrence between what mushrooms you can consume and what mushrooms you cannot.

The police are still investigating and no arrests have yet been made.
