The current climate is humid, Rain Water is abundant, and all kinds of fungi grow rapidly, which is the high incidence season of wild mushroom poisoning!

Mdash;— death cap (Amanita phalloides), the most toxic mushroom in the world, accounts for more than 90% of global mushroom-related deaths.

It is understood that the death cap can grow up to 15 cm high and the umbrella is tan or yellowish green. The toxin is a deadly component & alpha;- muscarine (& alpha;- amanitin), which can cause vomiting, epilepsy, severe liver and kidney damage, and even death.

According to Nature news, it was created byAn international team led by scientists at Sun Yat-sen University used gene editing technology to discover mdash;— indocyanine green, a specific antidote to death caps.

The team used virtual drug screening to find that indocyanine green can be used as an inhibitor of STT3B or to prevent hepatotoxicity.

Indocyanine green has also been found to improve the survival of human cell lines and mice exposed to alpha;- muscarine.Only 50 per cent of mice injected with indocyanine green died of alpha;- muscarine poisoning, while 90 per cent of mice without indocyanine green died.

Even if you eat non-toxic mushrooms, there is still a risk of poisoning, because non-toxic mushrooms in the wild are often mixed with poisonous mushrooms and are easily contaminated by poisonous mushroom hyphae.
