Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Muscarine, a toxin found in some poisonous mushrooms, primarily stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, salivation, sweating, and low blood pressure. However, it typically causes a slow heart rate (bradycardia), not a very fast heart rate.
