...Life stage: The White Poisonous Calamity (aka Bai Wuxian)

It could be very predictable again — to give him the poisonous mushroom ever, Amanita phalloides. But Amanita verna is also very poisonous, have such poetic names as the fool's mushroom or the spring destroying angel (Wikipedia). Pale white, with scales on the smooth ideal cap...just the right vibe for him😜. Both species — Amanita phalloides and Amanita verna — are very close relatives.

I was mesmerized by the quote from Wikipedia, it sounds so canonical 😁☠️:

There are no negative symptoms from eating this fungus until 6–24 hours after ingestion. The first symptom is simply unease. Violent cramps and diarrhea follow. On the third day, the same symptoms repeat themselves, but while to many this may seem like a sign of recovery, most of the time it is simply a herald of the final onset of symptoms, which include kidney and liver failure due to amatoxins. At this point, drastic measures like liver transplants need to be taken, or the victim would most likely die.

Pretty, isn't it? 😏
