Is Lepiota subgracilis Toxic?

Lepiota subgracilis is a mushroom known for its liver-damaging properties, frequently found in particular habitats during certain times of the year. Consuming it can quickly lead to stomach pain, sickness, weakness, throwing up, and dizziness. If these initial signs are ignored, they can worsen, causing serious liver and heart problems, including potentially fatal bloody diarrhea.
