Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The genus Amanita is responsible for most of the fatal mushroom poisonings. Amanita species contain the toxin amatoxin, which can cause liver and kidney damage and ultimately death if not treated promptly. Galerina species also contain this toxin but are responsible for fewer fatalities. Psilocybe species contain hallucinogenic compounds but are not typically fatal. Agaricus and Conocybe species are generally not toxic.
