Collecting mushrooms is a fascinating process, but it requires special care. No one is immune from the fact that the most poisonous mushroom will meet on the forest path. Sadly, but it is in Russia that the pale grebe grows, the poisoning of which leads to serious consequences. But not only it is deadly. In this article, we will consider the most poisonous mushrooms (photos and descriptions).
If you believe the statistics, then 9 out of 10 people die when poisoned with a pale toadstool. That is, this mushroom leaves practically no chance of salvation. The lethal dose is only 1/3 cap. In the tissues of the pale grebe, a deadly poison, phalloidin, accumulates. It is highly toxic, does not disappear after heat treatment, and leads to acute hepatitis. The most poisonous mushroom causes constant bouts of vomiting, dizziness, spasms, and headaches. Medical assistance, as a rule, comes late, since the first symptoms do not appear immediately, but 6 hours after the poisoning. During this time, the poison has already managed to be completely absorbed. Further therapy does not cope with the action of toxic substances, and within a few days the person dies. To protect yourself and loved ones, you should always remember what the most poisonous mushroom looks like - a pale toadstool:
- smooth grayish lamellar cap and white stem;
- presence of "collar";
- straight thin leg with a tuber at the base.
Amanita smelly no less poisonous. It stands on the same level as the pale toadstool and can claim the title of "the most poisonous mushroom in the world." Its fruiting body is pure white, similar in appearance to a pale toadstool. The surface is always smooth, shiny and sticky. The hat is first pointed, then convex. There is also a ring on the leg, which disappears over time, leaving only ragged traces. The leg is white, covered with flaky scales. The taste is extremely unpleasant, gives off bleach. Amanita stinky is common in the summer throughout Russia. It grows in coniferous and mixed forests, choosing the most fertile soils. Its poison causes severe poisoning, and the treatment often does not give the desired effect, and the person dies.
One more specimen - panther fly agaric. This 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 what a typical poisonous fly agaric looks like. The consequences of eating it are not as severe as in the first two cases, since the symptoms of poisoningappear after 2 hours.
Another representative of the poisonous family is the whitish talker. It is often found among meadow grass. This is a white fungus with a powdery coating, with thin plates. The diameter of the hat rarely exceeds 6 cm. The talkers grow in groups, often forming a kind of "witch's rings". Their poison causes cardiac arrhythmia, a sharp drop in blood pressure, severe vomiting, salivation, and diarrhea. It is not always possible to save the patient, but since vomiting begins within 15 minutes after eating, you can have time to do the necessary procedures and avoid death.
