Mushroom specimens were They are accepted as nutraceutical food, because of collected during field surveys in Shaki-Zagatala region their medicinal properties and economic significance. in 2013-2019 and identified by morphological features. It is difficult to distinguish edible and medicinal Along with phenotypic features, the size, shape and color mushrooms, because many edible mushrooms also of spores, recent taxonomic and nomenclature updates own therapeutic properties. About 700 mushrooms of were taken into account. The most common edible Basidiomycetes including edible species have been mushroom species in the district are Boletus aereus, listed as pharmacological active [Valverde et al., 2015; B. reticulatus, Leccinum pseudoscabrum, while most Bernaś, 2006]. widespread poisonous species are Amanita pantherina, Large number of mushrooms are classified as Coprinus picaceus and Hypholoma fasciculare. Few of poisonous and represent health risks, because they edible species, such as Butyriboletus appendiculatus, contain powerful toxins. Despite of this ability some Lepista nuda and Tuber aestivum are rare on this territory, poisonous mushroom species (such as Amanita Dill. and Galerina marginata and Rubroboletus satanas are ex Boehm., Cortinarius (Pers.) Gray, Clitocybe (Fr.) rare poisonous mushrooms. Russula heterophylla (Fr.) Staude, Galerina Early, Lepiota P. Browne, Inocybe Fr. represents a new record for Azerbaijan. (Fr.)

Historically, interest in mushrooms in Azerbaijan INTRODUCTION was rather insignificant due to the rich sources of plant There are approximately 100000 described fungal taxa and animal originated food. The first information about at present of assumed 1.5 million, which represent less edible mushrooms (Morchella esculenta, Polyporus than 7% species of fungi on the Earth. About 6000 officinalis, Tuber album, T. melanasporum) along species of those can produce visible fruiting bodies with few lichens (Lecanora, Roccella, Usnea) were [Ainsworth, 2008; Hawksworth, 1991; Tang et al., mentioned in the medieval manuscripts written by 2014]. All fungal species listed as rare, threatened physicians of those times [Alakbarli, 2006]. Numerous and endangered are macrofungi [Mushroom Observer, fungal samples were collected and reported by foreign 2020]. botanists such as Y.N. Voronov in 1922-1923, F.A. In ancient Greece, and in Roman culture mushrooms Kolenati in 1858, N. Gelesnov in 1869, etc. [Aghayeva, were valued and referred as the food of the Gods. Also in 2018]. ancient China, mushroom dishes were named as the elixir In recent years, interest to edible mushrooms is of life. Mushrooms were popular since ancient time to increased in the country, which also followed by the present day due to their low calories and nutritional mushroom poisonings and even mortality incidences content consisting of carbohydrates, low fat, high levels in the northern regions, including Shaki district. of Se, P, riboflavin, niacin (vitamin B3), vitamin D, Edible and poisonous fungi of Azerbaijan have been high nutritional proteins and fiber. Approximately 2000 studied since 60s of the last century and more than 130 mushroom species exist in nature, but about 25 species edible and 9 poisonous taxa were indicated across the are considered as food and just a few species are used for country [Sadiqov, 2007].

  • Mushroom Toxins & Poisonings in New Jersey
    Mushroom Toxins & Poisonings in New Jersey & Nearby Eastern North America What this document doesn’t do: (1) This document is not intended to be used as a guide for treatment and should not be so used. (2) Mushrooms should not be selected for eating based on the content of this document. [In identifying mushrooms in poisoning cases, this document does not replace expertise that should be obtained by calling NJPIES and obtaining contact with an experienced mycologist.] (3) This document is not a replacement for a detailed toxicological review of the subject of mushroom poisoning. (4) This document is intended for use with a broad set of audiences; for this reasons, it should not be used uncritically in setting protocols [for example, carrying out a Meixner test would be inappropriate for a first responder who would appropriately focus on collecting a poi- soning victim, the relevant objects from the scene of the poisoning, and the critical timing characteristics of the event such as the delay between ingestion and onset of symptoms.] POISON CONTROL: New Jersey “Poison Control” is called NJPIES (New Jersey Poison Information & Education System). Telephone: 1-800-222-1222 [works in all states—(WARN- ING) WILL CONNECT TO A MOBILE PHONE’S HOME STATE—IF YOU’RE UNCERTAIN, USE A LAND- LINE] If the victim is unconscious, call “911.” Background of these notes: This document was originally compiled by Rod Tulloss and Dorothy Smullen for an NJ Mycol. Assoc. workshop, 25 March 2006. Version 2.0 was compiled by Tulloss. When viewed with Acrobat Reader, underlined red or gray words and phrases are “hot linked cross-references.” We have included a few notes on fungal poisons that are not from “mushrooms.” The notes were prepared by mycologists with experience in diagnosis of fungi involved in cases in which ingestion of toxic fungi was suspected.

    Lakkireddy and Kües AMB Expr (2017) 7:28 DOI 10.1186/s13568-017-0326-0 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Bulk isolation of basidiospores from wild mushrooms by electrostatic attraction with low risk of microbial contaminations Kiran Lakkireddy1,2 and Ursula Kües1,2* Abstract The basidiospores of most Agaricomycetes are ballistospores. They are propelled off from their basidia at maturity when Buller’s drop develops at high humidity at the hilar spore appendix and fuses with a liquid film formed on the adaxial side of the spore. Spores are catapulted into the free air space between hymenia and fall then out of the mushroom’s cap by gravity. Here we show for 66 different species that ballistospores from mushrooms can be attracted against gravity to electrostatic charged plastic surfaces. Charges on basidiospores can influence this effect. We used this feature to selectively collect basidiospores in sterile plastic Petri-dish lids from mushrooms which were positioned upside-down onto wet paper tissues for spore release into the air. Bulks of 104 to >107 spores were obtained overnight in the plastic lids above the reversed fruiting bodies, between 104 and 106 spores already after 2–4 h incubation. In plating tests on agar medium, we rarely observed in the harvested spore solutions contamina- tions by other fungi (mostly none to up to in 10% of samples in different test series) and infrequently by bacteria (in between 0 and 22% of samples of test series) which could mostly be suppressed by bactericides. We thus show that it is possible to obtain clean basidiospore samples from wild mushrooms.
