Mushroom Poisoning
Mushroom poisoning is poisoning resulting from the ingestion of mushrooms that contain toxicity, toxic substances. Signs and symptoms, Symptoms can vary from slight Gastrointestinal tract, gastrointestinal discomfort to death in about 10 days. Mushroom toxins are secondary metabolites produced by the fungus. Mushroom poisoning is usually the result of ingestion of wild mushrooms after misidentification of a Mycotoxin, toxic mushroom as an edible species. The most common reason for this misidentification is a close resemblance in terms of color and general Morphology (biology), morphology of the toxic mushrooms species with edible species. To prevent mushroom poisoning, mushroom gatherers familiarize themselves with the mushrooms they intend to collect, as well as with any similar-looking toxic species. The safety of eating wild mushrooms may depend on methods of preparation for cooking. Some toxins, such as amatoxins, are Thermostability, thermostable and mushrooms containing such ...

Amanita Boudieri (1)
The genus ''Amanita'' contains about 600 species of agarics, including some of the most toxic known mushrooms found worldwide, as well as some well-regarded edible species (and many species of unknown edibility). The genus is responsible for approximately 95% of fatalities resulting from mushroom poisoning, with the death cap accounting for about 50% on its own. The most potent toxin present in these mushrooms is . The genus also contains many edible mushrooms, but mycologists discourage mushroom hunters, other than experts, from selecting any of these for human consumption. Nonetheless, in some cultures, the larger local edible species of ''Amanita'' are mainstays of the markets in the local growing season. Samples of this are ''Amanita zambiana'' and other fleshy species in central Africa, '' A. basii'' and similar species in Mexico, '' A. caesarea'' and the "Blusher" '' A. rubescens'' in Europe, and '' A. chepangiana'' in Southeast Asia. Other species are u ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Amanita Vittadinii
''Saproamanita vittadinii'', commonly known as the Vittadini's lepidella, is a European saprophyte mushroom classified in the genus ''Saproamanita''. Unlike some ''Amanitas'', this species is known to occur without accompanying woody plant symbionts.From R. E. Tulloss' website 'Amanita vittadinii (Moretti) Vitt. "Vittadini's Lepidella"' It has a general aspect somewhat between ''Macrolepiota'' and ''Armillaria'', but it is characterized by a pure white colour overall (whilst those genera are brownish) and by the squamous (scaly) covering of cap and stipe.(Translated from Spanish to EnglisAmanita vittadinii(Moretti)at www.amanitacesarea.com (by José Cuesta and Jorge Jiménez) In 2019, amateur mycologist Mycology is the branch of biology concerned with the study of fungi, including their taxonomy, genetics, biochemical properties, and use by humans.

Amanita Smithiana
''Amanita smithiana'', also known as Smith's amanita, is a species of agaric found on soil in coniferous (''Abies'', ''Tsuga'', ''Pseudotsuga'') and broadleaved (''Alnus'', ''Quercus'') woodland in the Pacific Northwest of North America. It fruits in August and September. Description The cap has a diameter of and is white and scaled with remnants of the universal veil. The stipe is long by thick, white and similarly scaled, with a ring. The spores are ellipsoid to elongated, amyloid, and measure 11–12.5 by 7–8 μm. Taxonomy ''Amanita smithiana'' was described by Dutch mycologist Cornelis Bas in 1969. The specific epithet honors mycologist Alexander H. Smith, who collected the type specimens from Washington in 1941. It belongs in the subgenus ''Lepidella''. Toxicity It is responsible for poisonings in the Pacific Northwest when mistaken for the edible and sought after ''Tricholoma murrillianum'' (matsutake). It causes initial gastrointestinal symptoms that ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Amatoxins
Amatoxins are a subgroup of at least nine related cyclic peptide toxins found in three genera of deadly poisonous mushrooms (''Amanita'', '' Galerina'' and '' Lepiota'') and one species of the genus '' Pholiotina''. Amatoxins are very potent, as little as half a mushroom cap can cause severe liver injury if swallowed. Structure The compounds have a similar structure, that of eight amino-acid residues arranged in a conserved macrobicyclic motif (an overall pentacyclic structure when counting the rings inherent in the proline and tryptophan-derived residues); they were isolated in 1941 by Heinrich O. Wieland and Rudolf Hallermayer. All amatoxins are cyclic peptides that are synthesized as 35-amino-acid proproteins, from which the final eight amino acids are cleaved by a prolyl oligopeptidase. The schematic amino acid sequence of amatoxins is Ile-Trp-Gly-Ile-Gly-Cys-Asn-Pro with cross-linking between Trp and Cys via the sulfoxide (S=O) moiety and hydroxylation in variants of the ...

Amanita Bisporigera
''Amanita bisporigera'' is a deadly Mushroom poisoning, poisonous species of fungus in the family Amanitaceae. It is commonly known as the eastern destroying angel amanita, the eastern North American destroying angel or just as the destroying angel, although the fungus shares this latter name with three other lethal white ''Amanita'' species, ''Amanita ocreata, A. ocreata'', ''Amanita verna, A. verna'' and ''Amanita virosa, A. virosa''. First species description, described as a new species in 1906, ''A. bisporigera'' is classification (biology), classified in the section (botany), section ''Phalloideae'' of its genus together with other amatoxin-containing species. The mushroom has a smooth white pileus (mycology), cap that can reach up to across and a stipe (mycology), stipe up to tall with a white skirt-like annulus (mycology), ring near the top. The bulbous stipe base is covered with a membranous sac-like volva (mycology), volva. The white lamella (mycolo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
