The majority of deaths are due to victims mistaking this poisonous mushroom for some edible fungi that humans often consume.

Death hat mushroom contains a toxin called α-amanitin (amatoxin) that can cause liver and kidney damage to the extent that it cannot be recovered and treated. Just 30 grams of α-amanitin poison in half of the death hat mushroom is enough to kill an adult.

Their toxicity is almost unchanged when cooked, dried or frozen. Therefore, the death hat mushroom is also used in some cases of intentional poisoning.

This is how to identify this deadly mushroom:

  1. The underside of the mushroom cap has many white rays.
  2. Legs covered.
  3. Smells like roses.
  4. Mushroom hats are light yellow or olive.
  5. The neck of a mushroom looks like a ring.
