Mushrooms occupy an important place in human life. Without penicillin and yeast, our existence would be more difficult. The tradition of eating them is not common in all countries, since they are a difficult product for digestion. There are more than 100,000 species of them, some of which are dangerous to humans.

Accurate global statistics on the number of people affected by fungi are not kept. So it is impossible to say for sure which of them is the most dangerous, with complete certainty. Even spoiled pickled edible mushrooms pose a threat. At the slightest suspicion, they should be thrown away, in extreme cases, boil over low heat for at least 30-40 minutes. Botulinum toxin, which is destroyed under such conditions, is one of the most toxic substances in the world, and was previously used as a biological weapon.

In addition, they can absorb harmful substances, so you should not pick mushrooms near roads and industrial facilities.

In addition, it contains other dangerous substances: scopolamine, hyoscyamine. For these reasons, the panther fly agaric is included in the ranking of the most poisonous mushrooms on the planet.

On the fourth line in the ranking of the most dangerous and poisonous mushrooms on the planet is Galerina fringed. It is dangerous primarily due to its similarity with edible summer mushrooms and is able to deceive even experienced mushroom pickers. In Russia, the bordered galerina began to appear more often due to climate change. Before that, she met in countries where mushrooms are collected very little: Japan, North America, Iran. It grows mainly in coniferous forests, so for safety reasons it is better not to collect mushrooms in them at all.

In the future, it may find application in medicine, as it has antibacterial properties and thins the blood.
