Which mushroom is known for its deadly toxicity?

Death Cap

The Death Cap, often nicknamed "the goblet of death," is responsible for the majority of deaths related to mushroom ingestion worldwide. This mushroom contains potent toxins capable of causing severe damage to the liver and kidneys, often fatal. Its deceptive resemblance to edible varieties makes the Death Cap particularly dangerous. Mycologists emphasize the importance of never consuming wild mushrooms without expert identification.
