Is Fries's amanita Toxic?
Fries's amanita is a nephrotoxic mushroom, emerging in specific seasons and habitats. Initial symptoms after consumption include stomach issues, frequent vomiting, followed by more serious complications such as kidney pain, reduced urine output, and high blood pressure. After 3-4 days, there could be slight liver impairment and potential kidney damage, specifically tubulointerstitial nephritis.
