Why mushrooms poisoning is so dangerous?
In: Biology
There are many kinds of mushrooms (at least here). Some of them are edible, some of them are not. Some of them are edible but offer culinary joys similar to a leather belt. Most of the “poisonous” mushrooms either are dangerous in a large quantity, and mostly cause relatively mild symptoms like vomiting. Some are dangerous only if not cooked long enough or if consumed with alcohol. And there’s the death cap, which is one of the deadliest mushroom (10-30% according to Wikipedia). The main issue here is that it targets the liver, and by the time you show symptoms your liver is beyond saving
