Its main psychoactive constituents are ibotenic acid and mus- cimol, both involved in ‘pantherina-muscaria’ poisoning syndrome. The rising pharmacological and toxicological interest based on lots of contradictive opinions concerning the use of Amanita muscaria extracts’ neuroprotective role against some neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, its potent role in the treatment of cerebral ischaemia and other socially significant health conditions gave the basis for this review. Facts about Amanita muscaria’s morphology, chemical content, toxicological and pharmacological characteristics and usage from ancient times to present-day’s opportunities in modern medicine are presented.

Its common name suggests MR Lee Abstract that it had been used to kill flies, until superseded by arsenic. The bioactive 112 Polwarth Terrace compounds occurring in the mushroom remained a mystery for long Merchiston periods of time, but eventually four hallucinogens were isolated from the Edinburgh EH11 1NN fungus: muscarine, muscimol, muscazone and ibotenic acid. UK The shamans of Eastern Siberia used the mushroom as an inebriant and a hallucinogen. In 1912, Henry Dale suggested that muscarine (or a closely related substance) was the transmitter at the parasympathetic nerve endings, where it would produce lacrimation, salivation, sweating, bronchoconstriction and increased intestinal motility. He and Otto Loewi eventually isolated the transmitter and showed that it was not muscarine but acetylcholine. The receptor is now known variously as cholinergic or muscarinic. From this basic knowledge, drugs such as pilocarpine (cholinergic) and ipratropium (anticholinergic) have been shown to be of value in glaucoma and diseases of the lungs, respectively.

It is an ectomycorrhizal fungus endemic to the cold ecosystems of the northern hemisphere. The basidiocarp contains isoxazoles compounds that have specific actions on the central nervous system, including hallucinations. For this reason, it is considered an important entheogenic mushroom in different cultures whose remnants are still visible in some modern-day European traditions. In Siberian civilizations, it has been consumed for religious and recreational purposes for millennia, as it was the only inebriant in this region. Keywords: Amanita muscaria; ibotenic acid; muscimol; muscarine; ethnomycology 1. Introduction Thanks to its peculiar red cap with white spots, Amanita muscaria (L.)

TONG, PharmD; UDO BOERNER, DSc; ROBERT L. ROE, MD; ROBERT A. T. SCOTT, MD, and MICHAEL B. MacQUARRIE, MD, San Francisco; and FREDERIC BARTTER, MD, Bethesda The number of cases of mushroom poisoning is increasing as a result of the increasing popularity of "wild" mushroom consumption. Amanitin and phal- loidin cytotoxins found in some Amanita and Galerina species produce the most severe and frequent life-threatening symptoms of Amanita phalloides- type poisoning. Delay in onset of symptoms, individual susceptibility variation and lack of rapid and reliable identification have contributed to the significant morbidity and mortality of this type of poisoning. A rapid chromatographic assay for identifying the potent cytotoxins and apparently successful management using thioctic acid of two cases of A. phal- loides-type mushroom poisoning are reported. All known cases of A. phal- loides-type mushroom poisoning treated with thioctic acid in the United States are summarized. THE GATHERING AND EATING of wild mushrooms lieve that poisonous varieties can be identified is a popular pastime in the United States, partly easily2'3 and many have the erroneous notion that owing to increased interest in "organic" foods and some toxic species can be rendered harmless by in the hallucinogenic substances found in certain cooking in a particular manner.

  • AMANITA MUSCARIA: Mycopharmacological Outline and Personal Experiences
    • -_._----------------------- .....•.----:: AMANITA MUSCARIA: Mycopharmacological Outline and Personal Experiences by Francesco Festi and Antonio Bianchi Amanita muscaria, also known as Fly Agaric, is a yellow-to-orange capped wild mushroom. It grows in symbir-, is with arboreal trees such as Birch, Pine or Fir, in both Europe and the Americas. Its his- tory has it associated with both shamanic and magical practices for at least the last 2,000 years, and it is probably the Soma intoxicant spoken of in the Indian Rig-Vedas. The following piece details both the generic as well as the esoteric history and pharmacological pro- files of the Amanita muscaria. It also introduces research which J shows that psychoactivity related to this species is seasonally- determinant. This determinant can mean the difference between poi- soning and pleasant, healing applications, which include psychedelic experiences.

Feeney, M.A. Washington State University May 2012 Chair: Marsha B. Quinlan In 1968 R. Gordon Wasson first proposed his groundbreaking theory identifying Soma, the hallucinogenic sacrament of the Vedas, as the Amanita muscaria mushroom. While Wasson’s theory has garnered acclaim, it is not without its faults. One omission in Wasson’s theory is his failure to explain how pressing and filtering Soma, as described in the Rig Veda, supports his theory of Soma’s identity. Several critics have reasoned that such preparation should be unnecessary if equivalent results can be obtained by consuming the raw plant, as is done with other psychoactive mushrooms.

E-mail: [email protected] Received 12 July 2002; accepted 14 January 2003. 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 for similar actions. Ibotenic acid and muscimol are the active components, and probably, some other substances detected in the latter species participate in the psychotropic effects. The use of the mushroom started in ancient times and is connected with mysticism. Current knowledge on the chemistry, toxicology, and biology relating to this mushroom is reviewed, together with distinctive features concerning this unique species.

    © 1987 Elsevier Science Publishers B.V. (Biomedical Division) Interactions between drugs and chemicals in industrial societies. G.L. Plaa, P. du Souich, S. Erill, editors. 255 NEW TRENDS IN MUSHROOM POISONING THEODOR WIELAND Max-Planck-Institut fur medizinische Forschung, Jahnstr. 29 D-6900 Heidelberg (FRG) Among the naturally growing products, mushrooms are suspected to be the most poisonous ones. Some people would not eat any mushrooms; the majority is cautious, and consume only a few species confirmed as absolutely innocuous, although the number of edible mushrooms is much greater than it is commonly assumed. The term "poisonous" is a matter of definition. If one defines a substance as poisonous that after ingestión causes transcient irritation of the stomach abdominal pain, nausea and diarrhea then a considreable number of mushrooms are toxic. If one, however, defines a poison as a substance that, in relatively small amounts, can lead to death, only a few species exist that must be designated poisonous fungi. 95% of all lethal intoxications by ingestión are caused by specimens of the genus Amanita. Before treating the important chapter of mushroom poisoning, I would like to mention those species that in rare cases have been reported to have caused death of patients. A. most recent, amply illustrated treatise on poisonous mushrooms has been compiled by Besl and Bresinzki (1). Traditionally, fatal toxicity has been attributed to the red fly-agaric, Amanita muscaria, the mushroom of fairy tales. The reason for this is perhaps the observation that houseflies that suckled enough of the sweetened sap of the mushroom lost their mobility and eventually died.

Revised 15 th August 2017. Published 8 th September 2017. Summary Amanita muscaria , the red fly agaric, is the most famous of all Amanita. The initial history of this fascinating mushroom dates back to at least the 13 th century. The use of mushrooms began in antiquity and is associated with mysticism. The collection and consumption of mushrooms and other plants containing psychoactive substances is now very popular, especially among young people who are experimenting with drugs.
