Lines: 13 I have a contamination question. several spots of dark green surface growth appeared along with another growth that appeared to be a thin layer of cotony like consistancy. i looked these two up and determined that they were trichoderma and dactylium respectivly. the method for control of these two con taminants were fortunaltly the same: scoop out what you can and raise the Ph by adding salt to the surface. I think maybe i went to far. the mushroom i want to be growing seem to have not favored well from the salt. although not dead several of the muhrooms have started looking rather sickly with dark spots at the base and several have fallen over. have i done a really bad thing here which can only be fixed by dumping it and starting over? or will it just work itself out. The mushroom i am attempting to grow has not listed Ph sensitivity so i did not think that the salt would hurt it. any info is appricated. please email me directly as i do not frequent netnews. thanks scott, From owner-mycology@net.bio.net Sun Jun 04 23:00:00 1995 Path: biosci!bloom-beacon.mit.edu!usc!howland.reston.ans.net!Germany.EU.net!EU.net!Austria.EU.net!newsfeed.ACO.net!swidir.switch.ch!univ-lyon1.fr!ghost.dsi.unimi.it!sirio.cineca.it!gopher From: Marco Floriani Newsgroups: bionet.mycology Subject: (no subject) Date: 5 Jun 1995 07:05:17 GMT Organization: Cineca Lines: 23 Message-ID: <3quabd$rsr@sirio.cineca.it> NNTP-Posting-Host: sunc19.inf.unitn.it Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.1N (X11; I; SunOS 5.4 sun4m) X-URL: news:bionet.mycology#01HR8P441XPG90NNHI@mbcl.rutgers.edu There is a new (even if quite modest) mycological site on the Web!

Clin Investig 1994 Oct;72(10):794-8 Article Number: UI95170240 ABSTRACT: Amanita phalloides-type mushroom poisoning is well recognized as causing acute liver injury and often death. Less is known, however, of whether maternal Amanita poisoning is associated with fetal damage or not. In August 1991 four members of a family were hospitalized with food intoxication caused by Amanita phalloides and Amanita verna. One of them died from hepatic and renal failure. The survivors included a 26-year-old woman in the 23rd week of pregnancy. Her clinical symptoms and blood chemistry data (lowest prothrombin activity 23%) indicated intoxication of medium severity. The management consisted of i.v. hydration, forced diuresis, and administration of silibinin, high-dose penicillin, thioctic acid, hydrocortisone, vitamin K, and fresh frozen plasma. Sonographic and obstetric controls failed to show any fetal abnormalities in the acute phase of poisoning. In the 38th week of pregnancy she gave birth to a healthy baby, who has subsequently undergone an undisturbed development. This observation indicated that severe fetal damage did not occur in maternal Amanita poisoning in the second trimester of pregnancy. Thus, at least from the second trimester on, maternal Amanita poisoning is not necessarily an indication for induced abortion. =========================================================================== Sakellariou G Plasmapheresis as a therapy in specific forms of acute renal failure.

Z Gastroenterol 1994 Jul;32(7):399-404 Article Number: UI95066248 ABSTRACT: Alpha-amanitin, the main toxin of the death cap fungus (Amanita phalloides) is one of the most dangerous natural poison. This toxin damages eukaryotic cells by inhibiting their transcription. Lesions are seen in cells with rapid protein synthesis, particular in liver and renal cells, even at low toxin concentrations. Without adequate intensive therapy, the outcome of alpha-amanitin poisoning is very poor. This article reports various courses of amanitin intoxication in a family. In 3/4 patients, severe hepatic failure developed as assessed by a decrease of all coagulation factors, mainly Quick's test and factor V (< 10%-15%). Despite vigorous replacement of coagulation factors, in 1 of the patients orthotopic liver transplantation had to be performed on day 4, whereas in all other patients liver function improved spontaneously. All patients survived their intoxication. Both the pharmacological basis and clinical manifestations of Amanita intoxication are discussed. On this basis a treatment scheme is presented which the authors believe may be useful to clinicians. =========================================================================== Borowiak K, Ciechanowski K [Certain enzymatic markers of liver damage in poisoning with Amanita phalloides] Pracowni Toksykologii Kliniczej Zakladu Biochemii Klinicznej i Diagnostyki Laboratoryjnej Pomorskiej Ak.

Amanita proxima is a mushroom seldomy encountered, similar to a common and edible species: Amanita ovoidae. During October 1992, we had the opportunity to care for five cases of intoxications with Amanita proxima. In all cases early digestive disorders, cytolytic hepatitis and acute renal failure were noted.

Department of Medicine, Nassau County Medical Center, East Meadow, New York 11554. J Toxicol Clin Toxicol 1994;32(6):715-21 Article Number: UI95055962 ABSTRACT: We report four cases of poisoning with amatoxin-producing mushrooms in suburban Long Island. All occurred when amateur mushroom hunters picked mushrooms from neighboring lawns. Two patients presented 30 hours post ingestion with evidence of acute hepatic dysfunction. One survived, after treatment with charcoal and penicillin; the other, a 90-year-old woman with prior cardiac disease soon developed shock and subsequently died. The other two patients were admitted 18 hours after ingestion of Lepiota chlorophyllum and received prompt charcoal hemoperfusion. Both did well, although one had a mild elevation of transaminases. Although most reports of amatoxin poisoning originate in Europe, these cases confirm that amatoxin-producing mushrooms, including Lepiota chlorophyllum, may be found in northeastern American suburbs. Such patients who present prior to 24 hours after ingestion should receive charcoal hemoperfusion if a lethal dose (> 50 g of mushroom) has been eaten. =========================================================================== Molitoris HP Mushrooms in medicine.

The role in medicine of higher (macro-)fungi in different countries from early historic times through the Middle Ages until now and also their prospective use in the future is described. Significant changes in the use of fungi for medical purposes are shown and some current and future trends are exemplified. Throughout the review, the role of Czechoslovak scientists in this field, starting from taxonomy and ending in the production of beneficial drugs from fungi is indicated. =========================================================================== Granda Martin MJ, Clavera Tejero I, Garcia-Andrade CR, Alonso Martin M, Perez Tamayo I [Amanita virosa poisoning (letter)] An Med Interna 1994 Jun;11(6):309-10 Article Number: UI95002498 =========================================================================== Kasilo OM, Nhachi CF Food poisoning admissions in referral hospitals in Zimbabwe: A retrospective study. Department of Pharmacy, School of Medicine, University of Zimbabwe, Avondale, Harare. Hum Exp Toxicol 1994 Feb;13(2):77-82 Article Number: UI94206622 ABSTRACT: 1. A ten-year (1980-1989) retrospective study of poisoning admissions due to food poisoning at six referral hospitals in urban Zimbabwe revealed 487 cases. This constituted 8.1% of all poisoning admission cases (6018). 2. The majority of patients were among the 2.1-5 (20%), 5.1-10 (16%) and 21-30 (15%) year age groups in that descending order. 3. The agents implicated in food poisoning were mushrooms (47%), food-borne and other food-related toxins (37%), Elephants Ear (10%), alcohol (7%) and cassava (1%). 4. The majority of poisoning cases were accidental, accounting for 99% of the total. 5. The treatment regimens mostly used included agents for correcting fluid and electrolyte imbalance (22.1%), antibiotics (16.7%) and supportive measures (15.5%). 6. Mortality was recorded at 2.5% and the main agents associated with fatality were food-related toxins (5 cases), mushrooms (4 cases) and alcohol (4 cases). 7. The prevention and treatment of poisoning caused by food poisoning is mandatory in the effort to reduce poisoning caused by these agents. =========================================================================== Dolfi F, Gonnella R [Acute amanita phalloides poisoning in the second pregnancy trimester] U.O. di Anestesia e Rianimazione, Ospedale Tabaracci, Viareggio (Lucca), Regione Toscana USL n. 3 Versilia.

Information about mycetisms caused by white species of Amanita is scarce. The present paper describes a case of mushroom poisoning caused by A. virosa. A prolongated latency period (6-10 hours), followed by cholera-like, improvement and visceral complication phases confirmed the amatoxin poisoning. The consumption of about 3 pounds of the toadstool by seven persons caused the death of five.

Infectious agents, drugs and liver toxins represent the major causes of fulminant hepatitis. The function of many organ systems may be impaired during acute hepatic failure because of the crucial role of the liver in intermediary metabolism. The mortality of 50% or more is mainly due to cerebral edema, bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract or disseminated infections. In this review the causes, complications and pathophysiology of fulminant hepatitis are discussed, with particular reference to the prevention of complications and to therapeutic strategies. Moreover, criteria for assessment of prognosis are discussed. A case report illustrates the complex clinical picture and frequently fatal outcome of the disease. =========================================================================== Blackman JR Clinical approach to toxic mushroom ingestion. Family Practice Residency of Idaho, Boise 83704. J Am Board Fam Pract 1994 Jan-Feb;7(1):31-7 Article Number: UI94182481 ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: This review provides the physician with a clinical approach to the diagnosis and management of toxic mushroom ingestion. It reviews the recent literature concerning proper management of seven clinical profiles. METHODS: Using the key words "mushroom poisoning," "mushroom toxicology," "mycetism," "hallucinogenic mushroom ingestion," and "Amanita poisoning," the MEDLINE files were searched for articles pertinent to the practicing physician. Much of the original data were gathered at the Aspen Mushroom Conference held each summer throughout the 1970s at Aspen, Colorado, sponsored by Beth Israel Hospital and the Rocky Mountain Poison Center. Texts related to poisonous plants and specific writings concerning mushroom poisoning were also consulted; many of these texts are now out of print. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The 100 or so toxic mushroom groups can be divided into seven clinical profiles, each of which requires a specific clinical approach. Two of the seven groups (amanitin and gyromitrin) have a delay in onset of symptoms of up to 6 hours following ingestion and provide essentially all the major mobility and mortality associated with toxic mushroom ingestion. These two groups are the major focus of this review. Treatment of the potential mushroom ingestion, as well as guidelines for asking clinical questions, are included. These questions serve as a form of algorithm to assist the clinician in arriving at the correct toxic group. =========================================================================== Oztekin-Mat A [Plant poisoning cases in Turkey] Departement de Pharmacognosie, Faculte de Pharmacie, Universite d'Istanbul, Turquie. Ann Pharm Fr 1994;52(5):260-5 Article Number: UI95160431 ABSTRACT: In Turkey, the majority of the population live in rural areas where they use wild plants as food and medicine. The confusion of an edible plant with a poisonous one give rise to serious poisoning which may even result in death. The incidence of plant poisoning in Turkey is about 6% and especially high among children between ages of 2 and 11 living in rural areas. The number of species that cause poisoning is around twenty and Hyoscyamus niger (Solanaceae), Colchicum species (Liliaceae), Conium maculatum (Umbelliferae) and Prunus species (Rosaceae) are the most important. Mushroom poisoning is more frequent in spring and fall. The main reasons are their widespread usage as food and the inexperience of the gatherers in distinguishing the edibles from the poisonous. Amanita phalloides, A. verna, A. muscaria, A. pantherina are responsible for severe cases of poisoning. =========================================================================== --%#%record%#% --%#%record%#%-- looks like it worked--y'all will be the judges. -ted From owner-mycology@net.bio.net Mon Jun 05 23:00:00 1995 Path: biosci!bloom-beacon.mit.edu!gatech!howland.reston.ans.net!news-e1a.megaweb.com!newstf01.news.aol.com!newsbf02.news.aol.com!not-for-mail From: mycoworld@aol.com (MycoWorld) Newsgroups: bionet.mycology Subject: Re: Indoor Growing of Morels?

It is possible the local Poison Center might have some info. Also check the index in the Lincoff book, and the CRC poisonous and hallucinogenic mushroom book. Both out of print last i knew, and published before 1985, so they might have some interesting older stuff. The local mushroom society newsletters often publish accounts of poisonings, but not with any serious technical content. Perhaps the toxicology old-girl/boy network keeps up on fungi as well, if you know any pros. I think Medline is probably the most complete and easily accessible source of technically rigorous information in this area. It is available on CD-ROM as well as by modem.

My name is Phil Starks. I am a graduate student at Cornell University in the field of NeuroBiology and Behavior. I am currently examining paper wasps, specifically Polistes dominulus. I am evaluating their nesting behavior and population genetics. I want to compare animals from different regions -- mostly from the Northeast in areas between Boston, MA and Ithaca, NY. My problem is finding these critters. They tend to congregate in the eves of man-made structures. I have searched state parks and some universities but have only found 4 usable sites. A usable site is one that has been relatively undisturbed (not sprayed with insecticides) for a few years and contains 18 or more colonies. These wasps make un-enveloped nests -- you can plainly see the cells of the comb (it looks much like a gray honeycomb). P. dominulus is the more yellow and smaller of the 2 Polistes species in this region (P. fuscatus is dark brown and the larger of the two animals). At this time of year you may see colonies with anywhere from 1 to 10 individuals, and nests that may contain 8 to 100 cells. If you know of any potential sites please email me. I am offering a $20.00 finder fee for useful sites.

I have been using the procedure developed by Cove as modified by J.E. Puhalla on his work with Fusarium oxysporum (Classification of strains of Fusarium oxysporum on the basis of vegetative compatibility. .1985. Can. J. Bot. 63: 179-183), in which he sucessfully isolated several nitrate non-utilizing mutants of Fusarium oxysporium. The procedure is fairly simple, the fungus is plated on mineral media (MM) containing sucrose or glucose as carbon source, 0.2% NaNO3, 0.16% L-asparagine, and 1.5% or 3% KClO3 (potassium chlorate), and agar. The plates are inoculated with agar blocks from a fungus culture grown on a complete medium (CM), and incubated at the desired temperature. The plates are examined periodically for the appearance of fast-growing sectors from the initially restricted colony. Growth of wild-type strains is restricted on chlorate , presumably because chlorate is reduced by nitrate reductase to highly toxic chlorite. Nitrate non-utilizing mutants are unable to reduce chlorate to chlorite and hence are chlorate resistants. The mutants obtained are plated on MM with NaNO3 as the only Nitrogen source, and will grow as thin and expansive colonies with no aerial mycelium (Correll, J.C. et al, 1987. Nitrate non-utilizing mutants of Fusarium oxysporum and their use in vegetative compoatibility tests. Phytopathology 77:1640-1646). So far I have been unsucessful with Trichoderma harzianum, I don't see any fast-growing sectors, and when I replate on MM with NaNO3 only, I always get good growth with aerial mycelium and fruiting bodies, no thin and expansive growth a mutant is suppose to display. I would appreciate any help or advice, and I will give you more details. Please e-mail me directly. Thanks Jerome Rigot -- Jerome Rigot Dept.

In over 10 years of experience I have never heard of a psychoactive reaction from morels. Some (very few) people experience an allergic reaction to cooked morels--nausea, GI distress,etc--and lot more have experienced the same reaction from raw morels. But intoxication--nope! Gyromitra species which are sometimes mistaken for morels by inexperienced collectors contain a compound called gyromitrin which is acutely toxic in large amounts (it has caused a number of fatal poisonings in Europe) and carcinogenic when consumed in subacute doses over sustained periods of time. When heated gyromitrin releases the compound N-methylhydrazine, sometimes used as rocket fuel. Looks like you'll just have to content yourself with Psilocybes, Paneolus species and the like.

If you prepare them in a tasty enough manner, they can cause extreme pleasure, but probably not enough to bristle the DEA. My parents report vivid dreams after a good meal of wild mushrooms as well. But the most entertaining side effect of morels for me has been visual. After every morel hunt, whenever I close my eyes I see morels. This spring, I found myself closing my eyes and seeing hundreds of morels. A week later, after an even better hunt, I closed my eyes and kept seeing BIG morels! This happens only with morels, I think (maybe boletes and gypsys too, but not chanterelles or hedgehogs), and several of my friends have had it happen as well. The search image seems to burn into the retina for a good 12 hours. Anyone else experience this?

A fragment of the rRNA has been sequenced, yet it was not clear to me whether this was sufficient to relate Blastocystis to other organisms. I could find little that clearly indicated this organism was pathogenic, although there are several such reports. These reports usually indicate diarrhea as the primary symptom. I could not find any indications of treatments. Even though your wife has blastocystis infection, her symptoms may be caused by some other infectious agent or by some other problem. If her physicians were convinced that there were no other problem and that side effects would not be a problem, they might try treatment with antifungals like ketoconazole, or antiprotozoals like metronidazole, or even trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. These would all be shots in the dark. There is a culture system for blastocystis, so a very interested laboratory might be able to at least test the in vitro susceptibility of blastocystis to these treatments before treating your wife. Note that most of these drugs can cause serious side effects in certain clinical situations, so be certain that the physician carefully considers the potential value of such therapies.

I´m curious about this because I´m working with a major cytoplasm and nucleoplasm protein (lectin) from a fungus. The protein has several similarities to eg actin; the protein is very sticky, with affinity to several ligands and could build polymers (together with ligands). (The protein has no sequence homology to any other sequenced proteins). The promoter of the gene contains elements (GATA) suggested to be involved in the regulation of nitrogen utilization in other fungus and the expression of the lectin is also dependent on the nitrogen level of the media (highest expression at the lowest C/N-levels). Because storage functions has been suggested for several plant and fungal lectins I wonder if a possible sidefunction of this protein besides it´s other major function(s) could be to be used by the fungi as a nitrogen source during limiting N-conditions?

They grow wild here in South-East Australia; and were mentioned in both A Field Guide to Fungi in South East Australia (Macdonald and Westerman, Nelson 1979, ISBN 0 17 005290 7 [good color photo at page 94]) and The New Field Guide to Fungi (Soothill and Fairhurst, Michael Joseph London 1978, ISBN 0 7181 1629 8 [#228, page 158]). They have just gone off-season (end of Autumn/Fall), and there will be a small season in early Spring (September). Thanks Garry PS Basic recipes are: fry quarter-inch (5mm) cubes in butter with an equal amount of chopped onions; half-inch cubes in lasagne; narrow strips in soup --- Deliciosus!!

Recently Bud Uecker published on the centrum development of Glomerella - finding it to be "sordariaceous" rather a Nectria type centrum or Xylaria type centrum. He also studied the development of Plectosphaerella cucumerina and found the two to be quite similar. The anamorph of P. cucumerina has been called Fusarium tabacinum and recently myself, W. Gams, and H. Nirenberg described a new genus for that anamorph - Plectosporium. The references for these studies are Uecker, F.A. 1993. Development and cytology of Plectosphaerella cucumerina.

Thanking you, I think that most people have given up on trying to measure pH of isolated cell contents because of the uncertainties of what happens during the isolation process. There are some ways of measuring intracellular pH of intact cells. I don't know whether the resolution is good enough to relate to specific organelles, vis: Pena, A., J. Ramirez, G. Rosas and M.
