Amatoxin is the collective name of a subgroup of at least nine related toxic compounds found in three genera of poisonous mushrooms (Amanita, Galerina and Lepiota) and one species of the genus Pholiotina.[1] Amatoxins are very potent, as little as half a mushroom cap can cause severe liver injury if swallowed.
