Australian and Chinese scientists have recently discovered that Indocyanine green – a type of “ medical dye” used in diagnostic imaging tests or endoscopic surgery – has the ability to block the effects of the toxin α-Amanitin contained in the Death cap mushroom (Amanita phalloides) (pictured).

It is possible to neutralize the toxins in death cap mushrooms.

Through laboratory experiments on mice and human cell lines, scientists found that indocyanine blue can prevent α-Amanitin from causing damage to the liver and kidneys. This substance also helps improve survival rates after poisoning.

Death cap is the world's most poisonous mushroom, responsible for approximately 90% of mushroom-related deaths globally. It is often mistaken for other mushrooms due to its similar appearance. While the toxins in some other mushrooms can be broken down by high temperatures, the toxicity of death cap remains virtually unchanged when cooked.
