Abstract

Mushroom poisoning is a seasonal phenomenon that occurs relatively frequently in geographical areas where its consumption is common. Depending on the type of fungus ingested different clinical symptoms (gastrointestinal, nephrotoxic, hallucinatory, etc.) can occur. Hepatotoxic syndrome caused by fungi containing amatoxins is the most serious condition, associated to high mortality. We present an updated review of amatoxins characteristics, kinetics, mechanism of action, methods used for analytical determination, as well as the different options for the treatment of poisoning.
