Death-Cap is a deadly poisonous mushroom, widely distributed across Europe.[2]
Uses[]
It was used in the making of the Death-Cap Draught, a potion which was highly poisonous.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
- The deathcap mushroom (Amanita phalloides) is believed to be the cause of most mushroom-related poisonings worldwide, as it resembles edible mushrooms.[3]
- Much more well-known to folklore and magical superstition is the Fly Agaric Mushroom (Amanita muscaria), a cousin of the deathcap, recognisable worldwide for its bright red cap with white spots.
