The names alone sound like something out of a B-movie: Deathcap and Destroying Angel. But how do these mushrooms kill? Researchers at Michigan State University who were studying the Death Cap mushroom thought they knew. They were looking for a big gene that produces a certain enzyme—the one that was supposed to do the damage.
