Blame for 95% of the victims was laid on an innocent-looking toadstool with a greenish cap known as Amanita phalloides,* whose tender meat can cause violent abdominal cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, liver damage, intense thirst, convulsions, delirium, and death in from five to ten days. Concerned, Paris officials dispatched special champignon sherlocks to inspect incoming truckloads of wild mushrooms at the central market, and the Pasteur Institute stepped up shipments of an antitoxin serum...
...heard of Callahan's condition, promptly phoned M.G.H. Chief of Surgery Paul Russell. What were the chances of Callahan's recovery? Not good, said Russell realistically.

He joined...
...Taste for Babies. Though there are no immediate plans to use the scio-myzids in large-scale attacks on snail populations, Berg did send five dozen larvae by air mail to Hawaii.
