Four cases of reported adverse effects from black boletoi, Anthracoporus nigropurpureus (Boletaceae) mushroom ingestion

New perspective on sustained antidepressant effect: focus on neurexins regulating synaptic plasticity

“…Furthermore, there have been instances of hallucinogenic Chinese medicines, such as Lanmaoa asiatica from Yunnan, China, referred to as “lurid bolete” , that should also be the subject of investigation [ 103 , 104 ]. Chinese medicine has a very long history of treating depression [ 105 ], and as a traditional Chinese medicine, Lanmaoa asiatica has been shown to have hallucinogen-like effects [ 106 , 107 ], which are very similar to those of hallucinogens. There are also plants widely distributed in tropical Asia and Oceania as traditional spices in the Myrtaceae family [ 108 , 109 ], plants in the Solanaceae family such as Datura stramonium , Brugmansia and Hyoscyamus niger [ 110 , 111 ], Cannabis in the Cannabaceae family [ 112 ], Peperomia cactus in the Cactaceae family [ 113 ], and Lophophora williamsii in the Cactus family [ 113 ].…”

Four New Species and a New Combination of Boletaceae (Boletales) from Subtropical and Tropical China

“…All assembled sequences were deposited in GenBank (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, accessed on 6 May 2024) (Table 1). Due to the high variation among species, the ITS fragment is an ideal candidate for identifying the species of most fungal groups [7,46,[50][51][52][53][54][55]. However, it is usually unsuitable for building a system tree, especially at high classification levels, due to alignment difficulties.…”

“…Boletaceae is an important group of Boletales (Basidiomycota). The majority of boletes are ectomycorrhizal fungi with favorable ecological and economic values, while a few are poisonous or bitter-tasting [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Besides, the taxonomy of the family Boletaceae has been a hot topic for scholars both in China and abroad.…”
