Molecular Phylogeny and Morphology Reveal Four New Species of Conocybe (Bolbitiaceae, Agaricales) from the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, China

Journal of Fungi
The Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, known for its high altitude, geological history of plate collision, crustal uplift, and special ecology factors, provides an ideal environment for studying fungal biodiversity in extreme environmental conditions.

Toxic and Psychoactive Fungi in Forensic Toxicology: Analytical Challenges and Postmortem Interpretation

Applied Sciences
Mushroom-related intoxications pose a distinctive challenge for forensic medicine because early manifestations are non-specific, latency may be prolonged, and co-exposures can obscure the mechanism of death. This narrative review summarizes key toxic and

Effects of interrupting the enterohepatic circulation in amatoxin intoxications

Clinical Toxicology
Interruption of the enterohepatic circulation is regarded as an effective way to treat patients with amatoxin poisoning. Nonetheless, its effectiveness has not yet been systematically evaluated. Therefore, we performed a systematic review to investigate the role of enterohepatic circulation on patient outcome and clinical laboratory values.

Amatoxins Against Cancer

Amatoxins, particularly α-amanitin, are bicyclic octapeptides produced by certain Amanita species and related fungi. These molecules act as potent inhibitors of RNA polymerase II, arresting mRNA synthesis in a largely cell-cycle-independent manner.
