A specific kind of mushroom that is not of the Psilocybe or the Panaeolus genera but may still be considered as a magic mushroom is Amanita muscaria; a very similar species is Amanita pantherina. These mushrooms are being used in the United States and other countries as a recreational drug. Generally magic mushrooms are of the genera that contain psilocybin and psilocin. These mushrooms are not toxic and will not cause liver damage. However there are other similar mushrooms that will cause liver damage if eaten. They contain compounds called amatoxins. The specific mushrooms which contain these amatoxins are mostly from the genera Amanita, Galerina, Lepiota, and Conocybe. Amatoxin poisoning is responsible for almost all mushroom poisoning fatalities. Death is usually in 7 to 10 days due to liver failure.
