    How would one be exposed to this toxin? Only by eating it or also by touch? Posted 3 years ago

      Only by eating it. But, I don't touch them anyway even though the experts all say it's safe to do so. It's just not worth the risk to me. Posted 3 years ago

The Eastern North American destroying angel

''Amanita bisporigera'' is a deadly poisonous species of fungus in the family Amanitaceae. It is commonly known as the eastern North American destroying angel or just as the destroying angel, although the fungus shares this latter name with three other lethal white ''Amanita'' species, ''A. ocreata'', ''A. verna'' and ''A. virosa''.
