Friend: The, "Destroying Angel." Amanita virosa. is poisonous to humans if eaten. The toxins destroy the liver, and recovery is unlikely without a liver transplant. I have never heard of toxicity by inhalation. It's a beautiful mushroom, look but don't injest. It's ok to pick it and handle it, just don't get any into your digestive system.

When I was much younger, I learned that even inhaling the spores was very dangerous, but I can not find any of that kind of info on internet - just very poisonous. We have many at the barn where I keep my horses and I am the only one totally neurotic about their presence? Jean Not much happening around here, except the birds are starving and eating accordingly.
