  5. Amanita phalloides - Wikipedia

    Amatoxins, the class of toxins found in these mushrooms, are thermostable: they resist changes due to heat, so their toxic effects are not reduced by cooking. Amanita phalloides is the most poisonous of all known mushrooms. [6] [7] [8] It is estimated that as little as half a mushroom contains enough toxin to kill an adult human. [9]
