Scientists just discovered valuable new insights about the most dangerous mushroom in the world. It’s not reproducing like it used to, and that could be helping it move into new areas.
Mushrooms are infamous for mushroom poisoning, and yet in reality, most kinds of toxic mushrooms only cause temporary physical discomfort when eaten by humans.
Of all the reported fatalities from mushrooms worldwide, 90 percent are due to just one particular species from Europe: the ‘death cap’ mushroom (Amanita phalloides).
Researchers have now figured out how this species has spread across parts of North America with such speed and apparent ease, causing numerous fatalities along the way as people mistake it for food.
