This death cap mushroom was used by Vikings to poison their enemies...

Anya, very painful. “Within 6 to 12 hours after consumption, violent abdominal pain, vomiting, and bloody diarrhea appear, causing rapid loss of fluid from the tissues and intense thirst. Signs of severe involvement of the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system soon follow, including a decrease in urinary output and a lowering of blood sugar. This condition leads to coma and death in more than 50 percent of the incidents. Notable deaths include Pope Clement VII, who died of accidental death cap poisoning in 1534, and possibly Roman Emperor Claudius in 54 CE.” Britannica

I wonder what the symptoms are after ingestion. Is it a painful way to go? Makes me happy I don’t like mushrooms.
