Investigation of <i>Amanita molliuscula</i> poisoning outbreaks in Heilongjiang province, China
<i>Amanita molliuscula</i> contains α-amanitin and β-amanitin in this region of China, with hepatotoxicity as the primary clinical manifestation. Fulminant liver failure was the leading cause of death, though liver transplantation proved effective in one case. Given that toxic wild mushrooms often resemble edible varieties and cannot be reliably distinguished visually, improved public education and surveillance are crucial to mitigating the risks associated with wild mushroom consumption.
