“If found, the fungus should not be touched, and definitely not eaten. Of the hundred or so toxic mushrooms that are known to researchers, this is the only one in which the toxins can be absorbed through the skin,” Barrett said, adding that consuming the fruiting body of the mushroom can cause “a horrifying array of symptoms.”
Fortunately, the dangerous specimen was found and collected for Barrett’s examination by Ray Palmer, an avid fungi enthusiast and photographer who knew enough about“I thought ‘no, this can’t be it because this is in Australia’—it’s not known to be in Australia,” Palmer . But as he’s found “a lot of other species which shouldn’t be in Australia” in his years of tracking down mushrooms to photograph, he knew better than to take any risks.
