Evolution of the toxins muscarine and psilocybin in a family of mushroom-forming fungi. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Mushroom-forming fungi produce a wide array of toxic alkaloids. However, evolutionary analyses aimed at exploring the evolution of muscarine, a toxin that stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, and psilocybin, a hallucinogen, have never been ...

Cholinergic Mushroom Poisoning With a Detection of Muscarine Toxin in Urine

Journal of Medical Cases, 2023
We report an uncommon case of cholinergic poisoning following an ingestion of wild mushrooms. Two middle-aged patients presented to the emergency unit with acute gastrointestinal symptoms including epigastric pain, vomiting and diarrhea, followed by miosis, palpitations and diaphoresis which were compatible with a cholinergic toxidrome.

Effect of Pretreatment Methods on the Proximate Composition, Antinutritional Factors, Antioxidants Properties, and In Vitro Antidiabetic Activities of Hypsizygus ulmarius

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
The effect of pretreatment methods on the proximate content, antinutrient factors, antioxidant, and in vitro antidiabetic activities of elm oyster mushroom was studied. It was observed and statistically concluded that soaking in 0.5% salt solution for 5 min had the least deteriorating effect on the antioxidant and in vitro antidiabetic activities ...

Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) for the detection of lethal amatoxins from mushrooms.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The mushroom poison that causes the most deaths is the class of toxins known as amatoxins. Current methods to sensitively and selectively detect these toxins are limited by the need for expensive equipment, or they lack accuracy due to cross-reactivity ...

Comprehensive Review on Advancements in Food Preservation Technologies for Quality and Sustainability

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Preservatives limit microbial development, oxidation, and enzymatic degradation, resulting in better food quality and extended shelf life. Classified as natural, synthetic, or biological, each preservative has distinctive attributes and modes of action. Growing preference for natural preservatives aligns with clean label trends.

Molecular characterization and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometric multiple reaction monitoring-based detection in case of suspected phalloides syndrome poisoning

Journal of Associated Medical Sciences, 2018
Backgrounds: The most common lethal mushrooms are invariably attributed to amanitas, which contain several types of lethal peptide toxins. During 2015 to 2018, the suspect in phalloides syndrome case reported to the Thai National Institute of Health ...

Ribosomal biosynthesis of the cyclic peptide toxins of Amanita mushrooms [PDF]

Peptide Science, 2010
AbstractSome species of mushrooms in the genus Amanita are extremely poisonous and frequently fatal to mammals including humans and dogs. Their extreme toxicity is due to amatoxins such as α‐ and β‐amanitin. Amanita mushrooms also biosynthesize a chemically related group of toxins, the phallotoxins, such as phalloidin.

Bioremediation of aflatoxin B1-contaminated maize by king oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii).

PLoS ONE, 2017
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is the most harmful mycotoxin that occurs as natural contaminant of agricultural commodities, particularly maize. Practical solutions for detoxification of contaminated staples and reduction of agricultural wastes are scarce.
