Deathcap mushrooms (also known as Amanita phalloides) are found throughout the Point Reyes region and are the most poisonous mushrooms in the world. The Natural Laboratory, a podcast exploring science for Bay Area National Parks, interviews Benjamin Wolfe, a graduate student at Harvard who studies the distribution and abundance of this deadly fungus.
LOL ! Amanita phalloides is a VERY good mushroom. It tastes like chicken:). Of course it is toxic, but you just have to cook it very good. The cyclic peptides will decompose ! Just keep adding water and boil for about 1-2 hours. You won’t regret it
Fascinating and informative thank you!
Great video. Thanks for the post.
