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]
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.

Expansion and diversification of the MSDIN family of cyclic peptide genes in the poisonous agarics Amanita phalloides and A. bisporigera. [PDF]
Background: The cyclic peptide toxins of Amanita mushrooms, such as α-amanitin and phalloidin, are encoded by the "MSDIN" gene family and ribosomally biosynthesized. Based on partial genome sequence and PCR analysis, some members of the MSDIN family were

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

An Automated and Highly Sensitive Chemiluminescence Immunoassay for Diagnosing Mushroom Poisoning
Mushrooms containing Amanita peptide toxins are the major cause of mushroom poisoning, and lead to approximately 90% of deaths. Phallotoxins are the fastest toxin causing poisoning among Amanita peptide toxins.

Amanitine poisoning - cases, management, therapy results
Mushroom poisoning continues to be a serious clinical problem. The most serious are intoxications with mushrooms containing cytotropic toxins with predominant injury of liver, kidneys and heart. The toxic properties of the phalloides are mainly due to α-
