There are several varieties of this deadly poisonous mushroom. Below I will describe some of them. Amanita muscaria is a very poisonous mushroom. It contains muscarine and muscaridin, which are inherent in other poisonous fly agaric, as well as scopolamine and hyoscyamine, which are found in henbane, datura and some other poisonous plants. Amanita muscaria has an additional danger – inexperienced mushroom pickers can mistake it for some kind of champignon, which looks like this poisonous mushroom. The type of fly agaric Amanita Ocreata is popularly called the “angel of death” … In general, fly agarics are very poisonous and dangerous to humans.

Pale toadstool
In order to get poisoned with Pale toadstool, it is enough to eat only half or even a third of one mushroom (about 30 g). The first symptoms of poisoning with this fungus appear in the victim 0.5–2 days after eating Pale toadstool. In most cases, poisoning with Pale toadstool leads to death. The pale toadstool is so poisonous that it should not be touched with bare hands, nor should it be allowed to come into contact with edible mushrooms collected for food.

Therefore, if you are keen on picking mushrooms, be sure to carefully study all the information about edible and poisonous mushrooms so as not to confuse them.
