Risks
- The destroying angel is among the most poisonous mushrooms for dogs, containing amatoxins that cause severe liver and kidney damage.
- Even a small amount of this mushroom can result in severe and potentially fatal poisoning.
- Initial symptoms include vomiting and diarrhea, which may be followed by a deceptive period of apparent recovery before liver and kidney failure occur.
- Destroying angel mushrooms are typically found in northeastern North America, often near oak trees and hardwood-rich areas.
