Historical Background

Death Cap is the common name for the mushroom species Amanita phalloides. It appears as a standard off-white colored mushroom with a stalk and cap. It is one of the most toxic fungi in the world and is responsible for most of the deaths from mushrooms. Many Asian immigrants to other continents die from consuming the Death Cap due to its similar appearance to the edible Paddy Straw Mushroom (Volvariella volvacea) and other Amanita spp. in Asia which are edible. It was originally native to Europe only, but has spread to every other continent except Antarctica due to import of European hardwood and conifers infested with the fungi.
