Amanita Ibotengutake
''Amanita ibotengutake'' is a species of agaric fungus in the family Amanitaceae native to Japan. It was first described in 2002 as distinct on a genetic level from '' A. pantherina'', and earlier has been classified under that name. The scientific name derives from Japanese name of '' A. strobiliformis'', ''ibotengutake'' (疣天狗茸, lit. "wart tengu mushroom"), which inspired the name of ibotenic acid. ''A. ibotengutake'' contains ibotenic acid and muscimol, rendering it toxic Toxicity is the degree to which a chemical substance or a particular mixture of substances can damage an organism. Toxicity can refer to the effect on a whole organism, such as an animal, bacterium, or plant, as well as the effect on a subst ... and psychoactive.

An agaric () is a type of fungus fruiting body characterized by the presence of a pileus (cap) that is clearly differentiated from the stipe (stalk), with lamellae (gills) on the underside of the pileus. In the UK, agarics are called "mushrooms" or "toadstools". In North America they are typically called "gilled mushrooms". "Agaric" can also refer to a basidiomycete species characterized by an agaric-type fruiting body. Archaically, agaric meant 'tree-fungus' (after Latin ''agaricum''); however, that changed with the Linnaean interpretation in 1753 when Linnaeus used the generic name ''Agaricus'' for gilled mushrooms. Most species of agaricus belong to the order Agaricales in the subphylum Agaricomycotina. The exceptions, where agarics have evolved independently, feature largely in the orders Russulales, Boletales, Hymenochaetales, and several other groups of basidiomycetes. Old systems of classification placed all agarics in the Agaricales and some (mostly older) sources use ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
