Popis: A little less than one hundred species of mushrooms, distributed worldwide, are poisonous to humans. The most famous of them in Europe and the United States is the Amanita phalloides, which, in these countries, accounts for more than 90 percent of the fatalities [1, 2]. However other species may cause severe poisoning and are found in the genera Amanita, Galerina and Lepiota all being grouped under the name of cyclopeptide mushrooms [3, 4].
