    Russula subnigricans is a poisonous mushroom, and has been responsible for mushroom poisoning in Taiwan and Japan. The effect is a serious one, rhabdomyolysis. The toxins responsible are the very unusual cycloprop-2-ene carboxylic acid (a toxic molecule consisting of only 10 atoms) and Russuphelin A (a heavily chlorinated polyphenolic).

  4. Mushroom poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushroom_poisoning

    Mushroom poisoning is usually the result of ingestion of wild mushrooms after misidentification of a toxic mushroom as an edible species. The most common reason for this misidentification is a close resemblance in terms of color and general morphology of the toxic mushrooms species with edible species. To prevent mushroom poisoning, mushroom ...

    Although many people have a fear of mushroom poisoning by "toadstools", only a small number of the many macroscopic fruiting bodies commonly known as mushrooms and toadstools have proven fatal to humans. This list is not exhaustive and does not contain many fungi that, although not deadly, are still harmful.

  6. Russula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russula

    Despite the difficulty in positively identifying collected specimens, the possibility to spot the toxic species by their acrid taste makes some of the mild species, such as R. cyanoxantha and R. vesca, popular edible mushrooms. Russula is mostly free of deadly poisonous species, and mild-tasting ones are all edible. [14] [failed verification]

  7. Russula emetica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russula_emetica

    Russula emetica, commonly known as the sickener, emetic russula, or vomiting russula, is a basidiomycete mushroom, and the type species of the genus Russula. It has a red, convex to flat cap up to 8.5 cm (3.3 in) in diameter, with a cuticle that can be peeled off almost to the centre. The gills are white to pale cream, and closely spaced.

  8. Russula sanguinaria - Wikipedia

    Both the specific epithets sanguinaria and sanguinea are derived from the Latin word sanguis ('blood'), a reference to the mushroom's colour. [2] According to David Arora in 1986, it was unclear whether this European species is the same as the American species Russula rosacea. [1] According to a 2012 field guide, they are the same. [3]

    Some species, like Russula vesca, can even be eaten raw. [113] The brittle texture of Russula fruitbodies makes them different from other mushrooms and is not appreciated by some. [114] Several species have a hot to very acrid taste and can cause gastrointestinal symptoms. [115]
