Deathcap, Amanita phalloides, is the fungus that kills the most people in mainland Europe. It contains amatoxins, the same type of toxin found in the destroying angel, and is one of the most toxic mushrooms in Sweden. The toxin can cause severe liver damage and death if accidentally ingested.

Symptoms usually begin with a watery diarrhea 12-24 hours after ingestion. By that time it is too late to pump the stomach. After 2-3 days, the liver starts breaking down and the toxin spreads to the rest of the body, which can lead to multi-organ failure and death.

Deathcap may be confused with edible green russulas, which are common throughout Sweden. Several fatal accidents have also occurred when deathcap has been confused with the edible straw mushroom, which has never been found in Sweden, but is widely cultivated abroad. Mushroom knowledge should always be considered to be local knowledge.

If poisoning is suspected, immediate hospital treatment is required. Rapid treatment can slow the progress, but the poison can still lead to death. In severe cases, a liver transplantation may be needed.

Shipping within Sweden costs 49 SEK. For orders over 999 SEK shipping is free.

We ship with Postnord's service "Skicka Hem". The package should normally arrive in 1-2 working days after it is shipped, however, Aurora's Chamber can't guarantee that Postnord delivers on time. The package is traceable and will be delivered to your mailbox. If the package is too big for your mailbox, it will be delivered to a service point near you.


For printed items (such as art prints, tea cups notebooks) delivery time is between 2-15 working days, depending on the type of product you chose. The somewhat longer time depends on that the product is printed on demand, a choice we made related to our Sustainability Policy.
