Pigments of fly agaric (Amanita muscaria).
The complex pigment pattern of fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) cap skins has been studied by LC-DAD and mass spectrometry. Among the betaxanthins the corresponding derivatives of serine, threonine, ethanolamine, alanine, Dopa, phenylalanine and tryptophan are reported for the first time to contribute to the pigment pattern of fly agarics. Betalamic acid, the chromophoric precursor of betaxanthins...
متن کاملMetallic Elements in the Fruiting Bodies of Fly Agaric Amanita Muscaria (l
The concentrations of some trace elements (such as Fe, Ag, Zn, Mn, Cu, Cd, Mg, Ca, Na, K) were determined in the fruiting bodies of Fly Agaric Amanita muscaria (L.: Fr.) Pers. The mushrooms were collected in Poland in 1999 and 2000.

Previous phylogenetic work by others indicates three geographic clades (i.e. 'Eurasian', 'Eurasian-alpine' and 'North American' groups) within A. muscaria. However, the historical dispersal patterns of A. muscaria remained unclear. In o...
متن کاملAmanita muscaria: chemistry, biology, toxicology, and ethnomycology.
The fly agaric is a remarkable mushroom in many respects; these are its bearing, history, chemical components and the poisoning that it provokes when consumed. The 'pantherina' poisoning syndrome is characterized by central nervous system dysfunction. The main species responsible are Amanita muscaria and A. pantherina (Amanitaceae); however, some other species of the genus have been suspected f...
