RESUMO
OBJECTIVES@#To explore the cytotoxicity of four wild mushrooms involved in a case of Yunnan sudden unexplained death (YNSUD), to provide the experimental basis for prevention and treatment of YNSUD.@*METHODS@#Four kinds of wild mushrooms that were eaten by family members in this YNSUD incident were collected and identified by expert identification and gene sequencing. Raw extracts from four wild mushrooms were extracted by ultrasonic extraction to intervene HEK293 cells, and the mushrooms with obvious cytotoxicity were screened by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). The selected wild mushrooms were prepared into three kinds of extracts, which were raw, boiled, and boiled followed by enzymolysis. HEK293 cells were intervened with these three extracts at different concentrations. The cytotoxicity was detected by CCK-8 combined with lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) Assay Kit, and the morphological changes of HEK293 cells were observed under an inverted phase contrast microscope.@*RESULTS@#Species identification indicated that the four wild mushrooms were Butyriboletus roseoflavus, Boletus edulis, Russula virescens and Amanita manginiana. Cytotoxicity was found only in Amanita manginiana. The raw extracts showed cytotoxicity at the mass concentration of 0.1 mg/mL, while the boiled extracts and the boiled followed by enzymolysis extracts showed obvious cytotoxicity at the mass concentration of 0.4 mg/mL and 0.7 mg/mL, respectively. In addition to the obvious decrease in the number of HEK293 cells, the number of synapses increased and the refraction of HEK293 cells was poor after the intervention of Amanita manginiana extracts.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The extracts of Amanita manginiana involved in this YNSUD case has obvious cytotoxicity, and some of its toxicity can be reduced by boiled and enzymolysis, but cannot be completely detoxicated. Therefore, the consumption of Amanita manginiana is potentially dangerous, and it may be one of the causes of the YNSUD.

The present paper reports occurrence of 15 species of mites under 10 families and 12 genera collected from edible and wild mushrooms from three districts of West Bengal during, September 2021 to April 2022. Among the mites, there were 9 predatory and 3 each of damage causing and of uncertain association. All the species have been listed giving collection data and remarks pertaining to their importance as damage causing, predatory, or of uncertain association. The mites like Tyrophagus putrescentiae, Fuscuropoda marginata and Leiodinychus krameri were abundantly encountered and were regarded as pest species. Similarly, the mites like Parasitus consanguineous and Asca biswasi were observed to be predator in nature
RESUMO
Mushrooms have been dietary source in hilly and ethnic tribes of India. More than 5000 mushroom species are known worldwide and nearly 100 species are known to be poisonous for humans. Mushroom poisoning occurs due to unintentional and accidental ingestionof poisonous mushroom due to misidentification of poisonous variety as edible one. There has been increasingly incidence of reporting of mushroom poisoning cases nowadays. Here we are reporting case series of 4 patients admitted hailing from same village with accidental ingestion of poisonous mushrooms with clinical-laboratory profile and outcome at our institution. Mushroom Poisoning is an emerging healthcare concern nowadays. Education and mass awareness for identification of poisonous mushrooms is an important preventive measure. Early hospitalization, proper hydration, gastric decontamination, silibinin and N-acetyl cysteine therapy with hepato-renal support constitutes mainstay of treatment. Delay in treatment and complications results in poor prognosis and mortality.
RESUMO
Objective @#To develop an analytical method of ibotenic acid (IBA) and muscimol (MUS) in wild mushroom by dansyl chloride (DNSCl) derivatization-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and to provide technical support for etiological identification of mushroom poisoning events.@*Methods @#The sample was extracted with hydrochloric acid solution, derived by bimolecular DNSCl, diluted and inorganic salts precipitated with acetonitrile. The extract was separated by a waters XBridgeTM BEH C18 column and measured by LC-MS/MS.@*Results @#The limits of detection for IBA and MUS in wild mushroom were 0.15 mg/kg and 0.1 mg/kg, respectively. Good linear relationship was obtained for IBA and MUS at the range of 0.5-250 mg/kg with the correlation coefficient of 0.997 and 0.999, respectively. The average recoveries at three spiking levels were 84.5%-102.0% with relative standard deviations (RSDs, n=6) of 4.7%-8.6% for IBA. The average recoveries were 88.6%-95.4% with RSDs (n=6) of 4.9%-7.5% for MUS. @*Conclusion @#The optimized sample extraction and bimolecular DNSCl derivatization conditions can achieve rapid and accurate analysis of IBA and MUS in wild mushroom poisoning sample.
RESUMO
Objective To determine the activity concentration of radionuclides for 137Cs and 40K in edible wild mushrooms,and to evaluate the extent of radioactive contamination and ingestion doses to adults from consumption of these wild mushrooms.Methods A total of 33 samples for 18 edible wild mushroom species were collected from natural forest Mangshi,Yunnan province.The activity concentrations of 137Cs and 40K were analyzed by using high-purity germanium (HPGe) gamma spectrometry.Results Except.for one sample that was below the MDA,137Cs artificial radionuclides were detected in other 32 samples,with activity concentration of 137Cs in the range of 0.45-339.58 Bq/kg (dry weight) and an average of 25.47 Bq/kg (dry weight).In regards to 40K in edible mushrooms,all species presented the activity concentrations for this radionuclide and the levels varied from 453.4 to 1 882.6 Bq/kg (dry weight),with an average of 815.1 Bq/kg (dry weight).After species of mushroom with only one sample were eliminated,there was significant difference for 137Cs(F =21.13,P ＜ 0.05) among 6 species of mushroom named Gomphus floccosus (Schw.) Sing.,Boletus edulis bull,Boletus edulis bull,Tylopllus bolloul (Peck) Sing.,Lentinus edodes (Berk.) Sing.and Boletus brunneissimus W.F.Chin,but without significant difference for 40K.Conclusions These 6 different mushroom species have different capacity to retain radionuclides of 137Cs in soil.These wild mushrooms,such as Gomphus floccosus (Schw.) Sing.and Lentinus edodes (Berk.) Sing.have large affinity ability for radionuclides137Cs.The effective dose to adults attributable to consuming these kinds of mushrooms is small and below the level that could cause harm.
