Three mushrooms known as the destroying angel, the deadly dapperling and the funeral bell all have something in common: the fabulously lethal toxin alpha-Amanitin.
A mushroom called the death cap — Amanita phalloides — and dozens of related species containing the same toxin, alpha amanitin, account for the vast majority of mushroom-poisoning deaths.
The death cap mushroom is highly toxic. However, some of its toxins can also be healing: amanitins are potential components for antibody-based cancer treatments. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, ...
Some fruit flies build up tolerance to the toxin alpha-amanitin; the genetic mechanisms behind this adaptation link to an important metabolic pathway. Scientists have now used genome-wide ...

Erin Patterson served four relatives of her estranged husband a lunch made with death cap mushrooms, after which three of ...
Researchers at Sun Yat-sen University in China have identified the molecular target for the death cap’s key toxin, α-amanitin, and found a compound that can block it.
But the scientists didn’t give up. After honing in on STT3B, the researchers did a virtual screening of existing FDA-approved molecules that could potentially block the toxin α-amanitin.
The jury in Erin Patterson's trial sat through weeks of evidence before convicting her of murder. Here's some of the key pieces shown to the jury during the trial.
