The most poisonous mushroom: photo and description

Mushroom picking is a fascinating process, but requires special care. No one is immune from the fact that on the forest path the most poisonous mushroom will meet. It is sad, but it is in Russia grows pale toadstool, poisoning which leads to serious consequences. But not only it is deadly dangerous. In this article we will consider the most poisonous mushrooms (photos and descriptions).

If you believe the statistical data, then poisoning with a pale toadstool kills 9 people out of 10. That is, this mushroom leaves little room for salvation. The lethal dose is only 1/3 of the cap. In the tissues of pale toadstock, a deadly poison accumulates - phalloidin. It has a high toxicity, does not disappear after heat treatment and leads to acute hepatitis. The most poisonous mushroom causes constant attacks of vomiting, dizziness, spasms, headache. Medical care, as a rule, comes late, because the first symptoms are not immediately apparent, but 6 hours after poisoning. During this time, the poison already has time to fully absorb. Further therapy does not cope with the effects of toxic substances, and within a few days a person dies. To protect yourself and loved ones, you should remember for ever what the most poisonous mushroom looks like - a pale toadstool:

• Smooth plate-shaped cap grayish color and white leg;
• Presence of "collar";
• Straight thin leg with tuber at the base.

Fly agaric is not less toxic. He stands on one level with a pale toadstool and can claim the title "the most poisonous mushroom in the world". Its fruiting body is pure white, outwardly similar to a pale toadstool. The surface is always smooth, shiny and sticky. Hat first pointed, then convex. There is also a ring on the leg, which eventually disappears, leaving only torn tracks. Leg is white, covered with flake scales. The taste is extremely unpleasant, it gives off with bleach. Fly agaric is stinky during the summer period throughout the territory of Russia. It grows in coniferous and mixed forests, choosing the most fertile soils. Its poison causes severe poisoning, and treatment often does not give the desired effect, and a person dies.

Another specimen is a panther fly agaric. It is not the most poisonous mushroom, but it is also extremely dangerous. There are much fewer deaths from poisoning by this species, since everyone knows from childhood how a typical poisonous fly agaric looks. The consequences of using it in food are not as severe as in the first two cases, since the symptoms of poisoning are manifested after 2 hours.

Another representative of a poisonous family is a whitish talker. It is often found among meadow grass. This is a white fungus with a mealy coating, with thin plates. The diameter of the cap rarely exceeds 6 cm. Govorushki grow in groups, often forming peculiar "witch rings". Their poison causes cardiac arrhythmia, a sharp drop in blood pressure, severe vomiting, salivation, diarrhea. It is not always possible to save a patient, but since vomiting begins 15 minutes after eating, you can make the necessary procedures and avoid a fatal outcome.
