What is the world’s deadliest mushroom?

The deadliest mushroom in the world is Amanita phalloides, the death cap or death cup.

Eating this mushroom, which contains five different poisons, causes diarrhea and vomiting within 6 to 12 hours.

This is followed by damage to the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system, and, in the majority of cases, coma and death.
