Description
The genus Saproamanita contains some of the world's most toxic fungi, and it is responsible for over half of all cases of mushroom poisoning. There are several toxins present in saproamanita species including amanatins, phalloidins, hemolytic compounds, and ibotenic acid. The majority of saproamanita species are gilled mushrooms with a central stem - in other words, they look like most people's idea of a stereotypical mushroom.
