AB There  are  more  than  5,000  varieties  of  mushrooms,  of  which  about  50–100  are  known  to  be  toxic  and  only  200–300  are  known  to  be  safely  edible.  The  majority  of  toxic  mushrooms  cause  mild-to-moderate  self-limited  gastroenteritis.  A  few  species  may  cause  severe  or  even  fatal  reactions.  The  major  categories  of  poisonous  mushrooms  are  described  in  Table  II–42.  Amanita  phalloides  and  other  amatoxin-containing  mushrooms  are  discussed.
