I am working on mushroom toxins with the purpose of opening up more mushrooms for safe consumption. I need 1kg Amanita phalloides for a lab experiment. The mushrooms are up now. I can pay for specimens in good condition. Please text or calll if interested. 831 600 5969. I will be freezing specimens as they come in. And then preparing for lab tests once I have something around 1kg. Thus, I can take any mushrooms as they are found. Thank you. William
