Here's a list of the most toxic
compounds
found in
fungi
. (NB this does not include
plant
, animal or synthetic
poisons
or
toxins
).
See my "
Most toxic plant poison
" node for more....
L-(+)-
Muscarine
this
alkaloid
comes from the toadstool
Amanita Muscaria
, has a
LD50
of 230
1
,
intravenous
.
alpha
-
amanitine
this bycyclic octa
peptide
is found in the
Death Cup
mushroom,
Amanita phalloides
has a LD
50
of 300. This mushroom only has a faint colouring, giving little warning of it's toxicity. People who make the mistake of eating these can find themselves
ingesting
up to 8 mg of amanitine, per 100 grams of mushrooms. 90% of fatal mushroom poisoning are caused by the death-cup.
Penitrem A
found in the
mold
Penicillium crustosum
, a
polycyclic
indole
derivitive; LD
50
of 1,050, intra-
peritoneal
. Supposedly the deaths caused after the opening of the
pyramid
of
Tutankhamen
(the "curse of the pharohs"), have been linked to this
compound
.
Aflatoxin B
1
. Also found in a mold;
Aspergillus flavus
, a di
furan
coumarin derivative LD
50
of 1,700, oral. Also this compound shows the highest
liver
carcinogenicity
(orally), at a threshold of only 10 micrograms per kilo. It tastes so foul
instinct
makes you
throw up
before you can eat a large amount.....
Notes:
1. The
lethal dose
figures given are all in units of micrograms per kilogram of body weight of the victim. The victim in all cases is the poor old
mouse
, except where noted. Where known, dosing method is given.
These notes and figures are taken from the book "World Records in Chemistry" by Faust, Knaus, and Siemeling
ISBN
