An Antidote for Deadly Mushrooms?
Season 9
Episode 15
The death cap is one of the most poisonous mushrooms known. Even small doses can prove fatal, so a group of chemists went looking for an antidote. But how do you go about discovering a new antidote for an ancient poison? With modern tools like CRISPR and computer simulations, they may be on the verge of finally removing the "death" from the death cap.
