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 order to elucidate the mechanism of toxic action of a pisonous mushroom, Amanita pantherina, biochemical effects of the mushroom extracts on mice were studied. A hotwater extract of Amanita pantherina injected intraperitoneally into male ICR mice evoked signs similar to those observed clinically upon acute poisoning by the mushroom and also changed the levels of component enzyme activities in blood, liver and urine. The serum cholinesterase activity was decreased significantly during 1-3 h after injection.

버섯의 cap에 갈변병을 유발하는 독성물질을 P. tolaasii 배양액에서 추출, 정제하였다. 독성물질의 정제는 silica gel chromatography, mass spectrum과 NMR을 사용하였다. 정제된 독성물질은 amylamine group의 aminobenzene인 것으로 밝혀졌으며, UV spectrum으로 분석한 결과 234 nm에서 확인되었고, 융점은 $76^{\circ}C$ 이었다.

Toxic effects of a mushroom, Amanita volvata, were studied in respect to biochemical and histological changes induced in the liver and kidneys of mice. The changes in biochemical parameters characteristically appeared 12 hrs after oral administration of an aqueous extract of the mushroom. The hepatic glycogen decreased markedly to 17% of the control level and a concemitant decrease in blood glucose was also observed. The activity of serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) was elevated by 2.5-fold and the level of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) increased by 3-fold, respectively, 12 hrs after administration of the mushroom, their levels being maintained up to 24 hrs.

본 연구에서는 새송이버섯 병재배방식과 느타리버섯 봉지재배방식의 재배단계별(최초 배지 단계, 균사체 배양 후 배지 단계, 자실체 수확 후 폐배지 단계)로 배지의 화학 성분의 흐름을 추적 구명하고, 독성 중금속(Cd, Pb, As)과 잔류 농약으로부터의 안전성을 평가하였다. 양 재배방식 공히 최초 배지와 비교해서 자실체 수확 후의 영양소의 양적 감소 정도에 있어서 총무게는 평균 29%, 건물과 유기물은 공히 21~25%, 섬유소는 19~22% 감소하였다. 재배단계에서 분해 이용된 유기물 량의 2/3~3/4은 섬유소(NDF)였으며, 이용된 섬유소의 주된 성분(50~70%)은 hemicellulose이었다. 균사체 성장이 배지의 화학적 성분에 미치는 효과는 새송이버섯의 병재배 시에는 미미하였으나(P>0.05), 느타리버섯의 봉지재배 시에는 ADF 성분을 제외한 거의 모든 유기물과 무기물이 분해 소실되는 것으로 나타났다(P<0.05). 자실체는 봉지재배 시보다는 병재배 시에 배지내의 영양소를 매우 활발하게 흡수하였다(P<0.05). 수확한 자실체는 폐배지보다 조단백질, 비섬유성탄수화물, 조회분 성분이 훨씬 높고(P<0.05), NDF 성분은 훨씬 낮아서(P<0.05), 폐배지의 화학적 조성에 바람직하지 못한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 폐배지는 독성 중금속과 잔류농약의 오염이 거의 없어 위생적으로 안전하였다. 결론적으로 최초 배지와 비교해서 폐배지는 난분해성 섬유소 성분이 증가하고, 조단백질 중 순수단백질이 줄고, 비소화성단백질이 느는 등 질적으로 떨어져서 사료영양적 가치는 상대적으로 하락하는 것으로 나타났다.

Today information is important for man and total fields. Science field is not exception. Currently information age things of information is only useful for man and total industry. So bioinformation is necessary of biodiversity in broadly wide and detailed information. Among information, bioinformation of biodiversity is important and utilization of living things. Among them, the mushroom(higher fungi) are an important part in ecosystem as a decomposer responsible for recycling materials. Many living things today, however, have endangered by environmental pollution and ecological destruction. The higher fungi also are not exception. Mushroom has been used for food sources, pharmacy and forests resources from ancient times. Among biodiversity, database of mushroom is very necessary for university, institute and industry. This DB contains four items of native mushroom(higher fungi) from Korea. first item contain species, genus, family, order class, ad division according to the classification. Second item contain pharmaceutical purpose, food source, culture, toxic, anti-cancer of the application. Third item contain symbiosis, rotten trees of the ecological resources. Fourth item contain geographical distribution and illustrated literature. Information system is also available using KRISTAL II for searches on the WEB in URL http://ruby. kisti. re. kr/∼mushroom.

Cisplatin is a highly effective and extensively used anticancer drug. Higher doses of cisplatin manifest acute nephrotoxicity and this is one of the limiting factors of this drug in cancer chemotherapy. The effect of the oyster mushroom extract to ameliorate cisplatin ( cis platinum (II) diammine dichloride) induced nephrotoxicity and restoration of antioxidant defence system in mice was investigated. The investigations showed that prior administration of methanolic extract of Pleurotus florida at a dose of 500 and 1000mg/Kg body weight significantly reduced elevated serum creatinine and urea levels and increased superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities in the kidney, consequent to cisplatin treatment, in a dose dependent manner. The extract restored the decreased reduced glutathione (GSH) activity and increased malondialdehyde (MDA) level due to cisplatin administration. The results thus indicated that oyster mushroom extract rendered significant protection against cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity and depletion of antioxidant defence system in a dose dependent manner. Since oyster mushrooms are excellently edible and non-toxic, the finding reported here is of significant use in cancer chemotherapy.

Phalloides syndrome has usually occurred after incidental mushroom ingestion. It is sometimes difficult to differentiate toxic mushrooms from edible ones, especially in lay person because of their morphological similarities. In Korea, Amanita virosa and Amanita subjunquillea have been reported as a cause of fulminant hepatic failure in mushroom poisoning (phalloides syndrome). We report a case of phalloides syndrome who came to death with fulminant hepatic failure even though we planned liver transplantation and used T-PLS(R) (Twin Pulse Life Support) for hemodynamic support while waiting for the donor.
