“…Amanita phalloides is the most toxic amatoxin -containing mushroom species with an amatoxin content of about 2 -3 mg/g dry tissue. 42 Some American samples of A. virosa contain relatively small amounts of amatoxin, but relatively large concentrations of virotoxins, whereas some European specimens contain amatoxin concentrations similar to local specimens of A. phalloides . A study of three Amanita phalloides specimens demonstrated the highest amatoxin content in the ring, gills, and cap, whereas the bulb and volva contained smaller amatoxin concentrations and larger concentrations of phallotoxins.…”

“…Therefore, the amatoxins are primarily involved in the poisoning of man, and the amatoxin contents of various species of Amanita have been determined (Block et al, 23 ' 24 Benedict et.al., 15 Tyler etal., 181 Wieland 197 ).…”

“…However, it was reported that the species does occur rarely in California and it was later found in the Pacific Northwest; it is now known from both coasts. Tyler et al 181 consider the Pacific Northwest specimens to be morphologically identical with the European form but chemically somewhat different. It would now appear that the true A. phalloides does occur in the U. S., but since related species (especially the white ones) seem far more abundant and hence more likely to be encountered, they are the species which have been depicted in the accompanying pictures.…”

“…Strychnine is a valuable tool in physiologic and neuroanatomic research (Tyler et al, 1988). Out of about 185-190 species of the genus Strychnos (Loganiaceae) (Bisset et al, 1973), strychnine and brucine have only been found in six species.…”

“…nux-vomica is one of the commercial sources of these two alkaloids (Tyler et al, 1988). The plant also contains a number of other minor alkaloids (Evans, 1994).…”
