Unraveling Hematotoxicity of α-Amanitin in Cultured Hematopoietic Cells [PDF]

Toxins
Amanita phalloides poisonings account for the majority of fatal mushroom poisonings. Recently, we identified hematotoxicity as a relevant aspect of Amanita poisonings. In this study, we investigated the effects of the main toxins of Amanita phalloides, α-

Equipped for success: genomes and metabolomes of the European Amanita muscaria are conserved in its novel South African range. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Plants and soils have been moved around the world for centuries, but invasive mushrooms receive scant attention. The Amanita muscaria species complex was introduced to South Africa in the context of forestry, but its origins, ecology and recent evolution are unstudied. We sequenced the genomes of 24 Northern and Southern Hemisphere A. muscaria,

Development of Simultaneous Analytical Method of Three Polypeptide Toxins α-Amanitin, β-Amanitin and Phalloidin in Poisonous Mushrooms and Human Serum Using UHPLC-MS/MS. [PDF]

J Mass Spectrom
ABSTRACT Accidental ingestion of toxic mushrooms remains a global public health concern because of the presence of highly potent peptide toxins such as α‐amanitin, β‐amanitin, and phalloidin. These compounds exhibit strong hepatotoxicity and can lead to acute liver failure and death.

Toxic Effects of Amanitins: Repurposing Toxicities toward New Therapeutics

Toxins, 2021
The consumption of mushrooms has become increasingly popular, partly due to their nutritional and medicinal properties. This has increased the risk of confusion during picking, and thus of intoxication.
