VOLUME II 14 TEO-NANACATL The Sacred Mushrooms of the Nahua 1 here are three cultural areas in the world where men consume mushrooms for psychic effects. We have just dealt with one of these - the eating of the fly amanita by the Hyperboreans of Siberia. The second area is in New Guinea, in the northeastern part of that island, at the headwaters of the Wahgi River. The practice is reported among the natives living in the Mount Hagen range of mountains, but it may well be more wide- spread. The Mount Hagen natives are a mixture ethnically of Negritos and Papuans, with some Melanesian blood. Concerning their use of an intoxicating mushroom the available evidence is clear but pitifully meager. In 1947 the American Ethnographical Society published as its Monograph No. 12 a paper by Abraham L. Gitlow entitled 'Economics of the Mount Hagen Tribes'. He devoted one brief paragraph to intoxicants, and said that one of the three in current use was a mushroom called nonda. Then he continued: The wild mushroom incites fits of frenzy and has even been known to result in death. It is taken before going out to kill an enemy, or in times of anger, sorrow, or excitement. That is all. We are vouchsafed no information about the mushroom itself, or its manner of preparation, or the dosage, or the meaning of its native name; nor any hint of the folk associations that must cling to this potent fungal growth. How odd that professional anthropologists should so often ignore in this way the obvious questions about fungi. Thomas Gilliard, an ornithologist of the American Museum of Natural History specializing in the birds of New Guinea, first drew our attention to the Mount Hagen reference. He did more: he suggested that we address a letter to a Catholic missionary working downstream from the Mount Hagen range and inquire about a peculiar fungal practice among the natives there. The Wahgi is a river that runs east and then south into the Gulf of Papua. Below Mount Hagen but still far from the sea it drains a valley shut in on the north by the Bismarck range and on the south by the Kubor mountains. The natives, known as the Chimbu people, are linguistically and culturally distinct from the Mount Hagen tribesmen, though ethnically similar. It seems that among them chastity is not prized as a virtue in young unmarried women, and that to avoid children they eat a certain fungus. Later, when they marry, they give up the 215 CHAPTER FIVE fungus and proceed to bear children without let or hindrance. We sent off our letter to Father John Nilles, a member of the Society of the Divine Word, to his station at Mingende, in the Central Highlands of the Territory of New Guinea, and in due course his reply confirmed Mr.

College Dhaliara District Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, India Abstract This study was aimed to perform in vitro mycorrhizal synthesis between Abies pindrow and Lactarius sanguifluus was achieved. A. pindrow seedlings inoculated with mycelial culture of L. sanguifluus resulted in the formation of short, branched lateral roots which ultimately form ectotrophic mycorrhizae. Synthesized mycorrhizae were light brown to pale yellow in colour. The transverse sections of the synthesized roots showed a typical ectomycorrhizal anatomy. The anatomical structure of mycorrhiza revealed the presence of thick fungal mantle and well developed “Hartig net”. Pure culture of L. sanguifluus was reisolated from both vermiculite peat moss mixture and synthesized ectomycorrhizae. These were compared with the original culture isolated from the fruiting bodies of L. sanguifluus and were found to have same cultural characteristics, thus confirming the symbiotic association. Keywords: Lactarius sanguifluus, ectomycorrhiza, in vitro Introduction systems of mycorrhizal synthesis have been developed and Lactarius sanguifluus is an ectomycorrhizal mushroom examined the ability of fungi to form ectomycorrhizae belonging in the family russulaceae grow scattered or in (Chilvers et al., 1986; Kottke et al., 1987; Kasuya et al., groups on the ground under conifers forest.

Lam. – a new rising opportunity for biomedicine. Pharmacia 67(4): 317–323. https://doi.org/10.3897/pharmacia.67. e56112 Abstract Amanita muscaria, commonly known as fly agaric, is a basidiomycete. 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. Keywords Amanita muscaria, muscimol, ibotenic acid Introduction rica, the genus had an ancestral origin in the Siberian-Be- ringian region in the Tertiary period (Geml et al.

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. Keywords acetylcholine, atropine, choline, Dale, hyoscine, ipratropium, Loewi, muscarine, pilocarpine, physostigmine Declaration of interests No conflicts of interest declared Introduction recorded by the Swedish-American ethnologist Waldemar Jochelson, who lived with the tribes in the early part of the Amanita muscaria is probably the most easily recognised 20th century. His version of the tale reads as follows: mushroom in the British Isles with its scarlet cap spotted 1 with conical white fl eecy scales.

In addition to being fine mycological books in their own right, they have a great provenance, coming from the libraries of several members of the Fries family – the leading botanist and mycologist family in Sweden. All of the books are from the library of Nils Fries (1912–94), many from that of his grandfather Theodor (Thore) M. Fries (1832–1913), and a few from the library of Nils’ great grandfather Elias M. Fries (1794–1878), “fa- ther of Swedish mycology”. All three were botanists and professors at Uppsala University, as were many other members of the family, often with an orientation towards mycology. Nils Fries field of study was the procreation of mushrooms. Furthermore, Nils Fries has had a partiality for interesting provenances in his purchases – and many international mycologists are found among the former owners of the books in the catalogue. Four of the books are inscribed to Elias M. Fries, and it is probable that more of them come from his collection. Thore M.

Mycol. 26: 17–25. Key words: ECM, Mountain forest, Ostryopsis davidiana, morpho-anatomical features. Abstract: The ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal composition and anatomical structures of root samples of the shrub Ostryopsis davidiana were examined. The root samples were collected from two plots in the Daqing Mountain and Han Mountain around Hohhot, Inner Mongolia of China. Basing on mor- pho-anatomical features of the samples, we have got totally 12 ECM morphotypes. Twelve fungal taxa were identified via sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer region of their nuclear rDNA. Nine species are Basidiomycotina, incl. Thelephoraceae (Tomentella), Cortinariaceae (Inocybe and Cortinarius), Tremellaceae (Sebacina), Russulaceae (Lactarius), and Tricholomataceae (Tricholoma), three Ascomycotina, incl. Elaphomycetaceae (Cenococcum), Tuberaceae (Tuber), and Pyronema- taceae (Wilcoxina). Cenococcum geophilum was the dominant species in O. davidiana. The three To- mentella and the two Inocybe ECMF of O. davidiana are very common in Inner Mongolia.
