The world’s most dangerous and deadly fungus has been discovered for the first time in a remote area of Australia. It has previously been found in other countries, with Japan and Korea leading the way.
It is called ‘Poison Fire Coral Fungus’ and a clear picture of it has been captured by a local photographer. The fungus was present in the Cairns area and was immediately recognized by scientists from James Cook University. Due to the bright color of the fungus, people considered it as edible as a mushroom, and this is the reason why many people in Japan and Korea have died after eating it due to its bright red color. The exact same mushrooms are consumed in tea in both countries. It should be noted that mushroom is a type of fungus.
Professor Matt Barrett of James Cook University says the discovery shows that it is present in Australia, among other countries, which shows its size and importance. It should be noted that this is the only mushroom in the world, if touched, its poison can be embedded in the body, after which the condition of the patient becomes miserable. On the other hand, in the case of food, the body becomes sick with vomiting, cholera (diarrhea) and fever; And death can happen.
This is because the poison of the fungus first affects the brain and compresses it, and then affects several organs and causes death. But with timely measures and treatment, the life of the affected person can be saved. Surprisingly, this fungus can be used in medicine. The poison fire coral fungus was photographed by Ray Palmer who has been photographing fungi and mushrooms for many years. According to him, he was surprised to see firecoral poison fungus and immediately took a picture of it.
