  • A mushroom as a functional food material is being increasingly used in these days. It has been that about 1,500 species of mushrooms grow naturally in Asia. Among them about 700 species are edible, but about 30-50 species are poisonous. Even a poisonous mushroom is a very interesting subject for the dietary life research from biochemical viewpoint due to the fact that any mushroom can be the physiological active material. Not a few identified poisonous materials are being used as research reagents thus far. It is suggested that more useful materials could be obtained by progresses in future researches. The identification of the poisonous ingredient can open up a route for mushroom intoxication cure. It is known that cell destruction and troubles on skin, liver, and kidney troubles can be occurred from mushroom intoxication. Recently the author reported as a collection of treatises regarding anti-tumor substances of mushroom (2005), antibiotic substances of mushroom (2006), living-body functional and control substance (2007), and medicinal mushroom commonly used in Korean herbal medicines (2008). In this sequel, published research data on protoplasm, nerve, stomach and intestines, malodor, and acute pain poison of mushroom are collected and reported.

  • Mushrooms are a recognized component of the human diet, with versatile medicinal properties. Some mushrooms are popular worldwide for their nutritional and therapeutic properties. However, some species are dangerous because they cause toxicity. There are many reports explaining the medicinal and/or toxic effects of these fungal species. Cases of serious human poisoning generally caused by the improper identification of toxic mushroom species are reported every year. Different substances responsible for the fatal signs and symptoms of mushroom toxicity have been identified from various poisonous mushrooms. Toxicity studies of mushroom species have demonstrated that mushroom poisoning can cause adverse effects such as liver failure, bradycardia, chest pain, seizures, gastroenteritis, intestinal fibrosis, renal failure, erythromelalgia, and rhabdomyolysis. Correct categorization and better understanding are essential for the safe and healthy consumption of mushrooms as functional foods as well as for their medicinal use.

  • Of mushrooms found in Japan, approximately 35 species are classified as poisonous mushrooms. The mushroom poisonings caused by these mushrooms are classified as three types accodring to the symptoms and their toxic constitutents. The first type is the cholera-like symptom which is induced mainly by the toxic constitutents such as cyclopeptide and gyromitrin. The second type is the neurological mainfestations induced by muscarine (cholinergic), muscimol (delirium), psilocybin (hallucinogenic) and coprine (antabuse-like).

  • In a survey on higher fungi from 2004 to 2011, and also in 2013, in Naejangsan National Park, a total of 2 divisions, 7 classes, 21 orders, 74 families, 229 genera, and 521 species were observed. Dominant species belonged to the families Boletaceae and Russulaceae (44 species), Agaricaceae (35 species), Polyporaceae (29 species), and Amanitaceae (27 species). For the habitat environment, 21 families, 44 genera, and 192 species (36.9%) (63 species of poisonous mushroom, 79 species of edible and medicinal mushroom, and 43 species of unknown edible & poisonous mushroom) of ectomycorrhizal mushrooms were found; 41 families, 118 genera, and 199 species (38.2%) (14 species of poisonous mushroom, 85 species of edible & medicinal mushroom, and 90 species of unknown edible and poisonous mushroom) of litter decomposing and wood rotting fungi were found, and 29 families, 66 genera, and 121 species (23.2%) (8 species of poisonous mushroom, 54 species of edible and medicinal mushroom, and 47 species of unknown edible & poisonous mushroom) of grounding fungi were found, and 9 species were the other habitat. In terms of seasonality, most of the higher fungi were found in July, August, and September. In terms of altitude, the most species were observed at 200~299 m, and populations dropped by a significant level at an altitude of 700 m or higher. It seemed that the most diversified higher fungi occurred at climate conditions with a mean air temperature of $25.0{\sim}28.9^{\circ}C$, a maximum air temperature of $30.0{\sim}33.9^{\circ}C$, a minimum air temperature of $21.0{\sim}24.9^{\circ}C$, a relative humidity of 73.0~79.9%, and over 400.0 mm of rainfall.

  • Roridin E, produced by Podostroma cornu-damae, is a mycotoxin with anticancer activity. To increase the content of roridin E, submerged culture conditions were optimized using response surface methodology. Three factors, namely, medium initial pH, incubation time and agitation speed were optimized using a Box-Behnken design. The optimum submerged culture conditions to increase the content of roridin E included a medium with an initial pH of 4.0, an incubation time of 12.90 days, and an agitation speed of 63.03 rpm. The roridin E content in the submerged culture, under the aforementioned conditions, was 40.26 mg/L. The findings of this study can help lower the current price of roridin E and promote its related research.

  • Fifteen species of wild mushrooms, which are classified as edible, medicinal, poisonous, or unknown types, were analyzed for their free amino acid contents. The average total amino acid content was 1,120.0 mg/kg in the edible type, 1,037.8 mg/kg in the medicinal type, and 1,010.8 mg/kg in the poisonous or unknown type, respectively. The edible type wild mushrooms showed the highest average content of total essential amino acids; conversely, the poisonous or unknown type showed the lowest content. Leucopaxillus giganteus (OK811) showed the highest total amino acid (1,212.4 mg/kg) and essential amino acid (490.2 mg/kg) contents among edible type, while Pycnoporus sanguineus (OK1071) showed the highest total amino acid (1,233.7 mg/kg) and essential amino acid (412.8 mg/kg) contents among the medicinal type. Among the poisonous or unknown type, Hypholoma fasciculare (OK826) showed the highest total amino acid (1,223.4 mg/kg) and essential amino acid (442.8 mg/kg) contents. The amino acid contents of wild mushrooms are fundamental data for the screening of useful genetic resources with nutritionally superior properties.

  • A poisoning accident is often caused by a situation in which people eat poisonous mushrooms because they cannot distinguish between edible mushrooms and poisonous mushrooms. In this paper, we propose an automatic mushroom recognition system by using the convolutional neural network. We collected 1478 mushroom images of 38 species using image crawling, and used the dataset for learning the convolutional neural network. A comparison experiment using AlexNet, VGGNet, and GoogLeNet was performed using the collected datasets, and a comparison experiment using a class number expansion and a fine-tuning technique for transfer learning were performed. As a result of our experiment, we achieve 82.63% top-1 accuracy and 96.84% top-5 accuracy on test set of our dataset.

  • Omphalotus japonicus is known to as a poisonous mushroom in East Asia, but Illudin S, bioluminescent compound, has been recently reported for an anticancer effect. The fungus is quite rare in natural condition in Korea. Therefore, we tried to cultivate in the mushroom on the sawdust cultivation to provide sufficient amount of mushroom for pharmaceutical study for the future. The mushroom could be harvested from all sawdust media used in this study, and the sawdust of Pinus densiflora was considered to be the best for mushroom cultivation with considering mushroom productivity and cultivation period. The mushroom was produced 43~80 g fresh weight per 600 g sawdust medium in average, and could be harvested one to three times during cultivation period.

  • Extracts were prepared from six different poisonous mushrooms in order to identify biologically active natural ligands. The effects of these extracts were examined on the microsomal $^{45}$ Ca$^{2+}$ uptake and $^{45}$ Ca$^{2+}$ release. Five out of six species apparently inhibited the activity of total microsomal ATPases prepared from the epithelial cells of pig airway. (omitted)ted)
