The “death cap” mushroom, which is more formally called, is extremely toxic to humans. The species originated in Europe, but has quickly been finding a new home all across the U.S.

These asexual spores are formed in the world’s deadliest mushroom when it replicates its own chromosomes in two distinctly identical packages.
