Storm crow Posted July 16, 2010 A quick Google suggests there's more to it than the ABC story reported. http://news.suite101.com/article.cfm/sudden-deaths-syndrome-linked-to-barium-in-tiny-yunnan-mushrooms-a261373 http://www.physorg.com/news198239538.html - "Testing found the mushroom contained some toxins, though not enough to be deadly. Chinese scientists need to isolate the toxin and test whether it triggers cardiac arrests. Researchers have hypothesized that there is a second agent. Many of the victims showed high levels of barium, a heavy metal in the soil that seeps into mushrooms." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
