The newly found ability of Amanita phalloides to reproduce asexually means that it can spread faster than before. There aren't as many invasive fungi as there are invasive plants in North America, but this definitely counts as one of them.

One of the things I emphasize multiple times in my foraging classes is that you should never, ever eat something unless you are 100% positive it is an edible species. Many of the poisonings from this species are from folks who grew up eating paddy straw mushrooms (Volvariella volvacea) in Asia, visited or moved to Europe or North America, and mistook A. phalloides for these edibles. And it's important to do your own identifying rather than relying on someone else; there are multiple cases of mushroom poisonings where someone was given the mushrooms by someone else who said they were edible.

When in doubt, throw it out! It is totally okay to want to be an old, rather than bold, mushroom hunter.

I found it !!!!!!!!!!!!! (Nov. 2023)

The Destroying angel (Amanita virosa)!! It is among the most toxic known mushrooms, closely related to Death caps (Amanita phalloides).

It is pretty rare. As all Amanita species form ectomycorrhizal relationships with the roots of certain trees, thus, destroying angels grow in or near the edges of woodlands. They can also be found on lawns or grassy meadows near trees or shrubs.

As little as half a mushroom cap can be fatal if the victim is not treated quickly enough.

🍄 Funguary 10: Destroying Angel

The bobbling, wobbling pattern of their flight has been described as 'cute'. Their detonation has been described as 'deadly'.

Okay. Okay okay okay. So. This is a HUGE discovery. Death caps and destroying angels are two of the deadliest mushrooms in the world; both are in the genus Amanita. Both species contain both amatoxins and phallotoxins, though the latter are likely not a major factor in the massive cell death that occurs in the liver and/or kidneys after consuming these mushrooms.

The most medically significant of the amatoxins is α-amanitin. When a deadly Amanita is consumed, you're likely to get the expected gastrointestinal upset that accompanies many toxic mushrooms within a few hours, and they may last for a few days. Then you start to feel better--but you can't just say "Okay, learned my lesson, I won't eat THAT one again." That's because α-amanitin has been stuck in your liver and kidneys the whole time, destroying their cells left and right, and its deleterious effects are catching up to you. So you can expect to end up in the hospital, potentially dealing with acute organ failure.

Supportive care generally includes IV fluids and electrolytes along with penicillin, oral activated charcoal, and other medications, along with hemodialysis and hemoperfusion. Some people have needed organ transplants, and numerous people have died, especially those who got medical help too late.

While compounds from milk thistle (Silybum marianum) have shown success in treating amatoxin poisoning in a small study several decades ago, there hasn't been much follow-up since. Recently, researchers studied the molecular effects of α-amanitin, and discovered that the enzyme STT3B plays a crucial role in creating N-glycans that facilitate the cell death caused by α-amanitin. Then they went looking for anything that could inhibit STT3B from a list of possible treatments approved by the FDA.

Enter indocyanine green. Developed as a dye for photography in the 1950s, it received approval for medical use a few years later, and has been used for everything from measuring cardiac performance to opthalmology. But it just so happens to also significantly reduce cell death both in vitro in human cell lines, and in vivo in mice. There haven't been any in vivo studies in humans just yet, but results are very promising.

There's one limitation--indocyanine green must be given as soon as possible after ingestion. When it was given eight or twelve hours after α-amanitin poisoning, it was no longer effective due to cell death having already occurred.

Still, the fact that we now have a potential new tool in treating acute α-amanitin poisoning is a massive hope for the future. Couple this with increasing education about safe mushroom foraging and how to identify poisonous species, and we could see a significant reduction in poisoning from those two deadly Amanita species.
