What Wikipedia says

Amatoxins are a subgroup of at least nine related cyclic peptide toxins found in three genera of deadly poisonous mushrooms (Amanita, Galerina and Lepiota) and one species of the genus Pholiotina. Amatoxins are very potent, since as little as half a mushroom cap can cause severe liver injury if swallowed.
