Red fly agaric poisoning is rare. It can be consumed for suicidal purposes or its psychedelic effect. The paper describes the case of a young men, who fell into a coma after ingestion of the red toadstools. Quick identification of the poison, early use of gastric lavage and symptomatic treatment resulted in regression of symptoms and lead to the patient's discharge from the hospital on the thir...

Phylogenetic relationships were investigated in the mushroom genus Coprinus based on sequence data from the nuclear encoded large-subunit rDNA gene. Forty-seven species of Coprinus and 19 additional species from the families Coprinaceae, Strophariaceae, Bolbitiaceae, Agaricaceae, Podaxaceae, and Montagneaceae were studied. A total of 1360 sites was sequenced across seven divergent domains and i...

In this research, 12 species of Agaric Fungi including, Agaricus arvensis, A. bisporus, Coprinus comatus, C. sterquilinus, Lentinus tigrinus, Inocybe griseovelata, I. subnudipes, I. terrifera, Leucoagaricus carneifolius, L. leucothites, Volvariella volvacea,and Volvupluteus gloiocephalus belonging to Agaricaceae, Inocybaceae, Pluteacae, and Polyporaceae were identified from Kermanshah and Harsi...

In the framework of collection and identification of fungi of Zagros mountains (W and SW Iran), specimens of agaric fungi with subterraneandevelopment were collected from oak forests in Chaharmahal-va-Bakhtiari province. Native people of Dopolan and Rahimabad used hypogeous fruit-bodies of fungus as edible fungi. Excavation was done and fungal samples were found at 15–30 cm soil depth, near Oak...

Aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA) was found to be a very potent inhibitor of purified rabbit liver phosphofructokinase (PFK), giving 50% inhibition at 0.2 microM. The inhibition was in a manner consistent with interaction at the citrate-inhibitory site of the enzyme. The data suggest that inhibition of PFK by ATA was not due to denaturation of the enzyme or the irreversible binding of inhibitor, si...
