La amatoxina, uno de sus componentes es letal a dosis de 0.1 mg/kg y el manejo posterior a su ingesta no cuenta con pautas claramente establecidas, el mismo va a depender del tiempo que haya transcurrido desde la ingesta del hongo y puede llegar a ser tan invasivo como un trasplante hepático.]]></p></abstract>
