A large fungus, seemingly harmless, grows near other edible mushrooms and radiates a delicious aroma, but in fact is a poisonous mushroom.

Slate quoted Harvard University expert Cat Adams (USA) as warning that the fungal cells have a speed of rapid spread.

In the United States, this fungus adjusts to adaptation to the development of native oak and pine trees, and spreads to Mexico.

The good news is that expert Todd Mitchell of Dominic Hospital in Santa Cruz and colleagues found a placebo extracted from thistle resin and used it to treat more than 60 patients with fungal poisoning.

Those who promptly took a placebo, within 96 hours of being poisoned, or without kidney failure after eating mushrooms, were saved.
