Explore the toxicity of death cap mushrooms, and find out what makes this one species so dangerous to humans.

Humans have known about the toxicity of death cap mushrooms for millennia. Yet they continue to pose a significant threat to unsuspecting foragers and mushroom hunters throughout the world. Today, death caps are responsible for more than 90% of all mushroom related deaths, killing upwards of 100 people each year. So, what makes this one species of mushroom so dangerous? Michael Beug investigates.

These two beautiful and deadly poisonous Death Caps, Amanita phalloides, were practically glowing when I encountered them yesterday evening. The bright colours and the sack-like base are good indicators, although I have been told there are edible look-alikes, especially when it appears less colourful or is in its young state. Researching this mushroom, I learned that it is the most poisonous mushroom known, responsible for around 90% of all mushroom-related deaths - so I obviously did not pick it!
Found near Fruens Bøge, Odense, Denmark
