SEEGER R. (1995): Vergiftungen durch höhere Pilze (Intoxications by higher fungi.)   [Fungal intoxications, muscarine, amatoxins, hallucinogenic fungi, Cortinarius toxins]  Czech Mycology 48(2): 97-138   (published: 25th September, 1995)
  abstract   Article presents a review of poisonous macrofungi and their toxic constituents concerning chemistry, site and mechanism of action, absorption, fate and excretion of the main toxins and signs, diagnosis, treatment and course of human poisoning. Considered are macrofungi containing 1. Irritants of the gastrointestinal tract with rapid onset of action. 2. Muscarine in Inocybe and Clitocybe species. 3. Toxins affecting the central nervous system, i.e. ibotenic acid resp. muscimol in Amanita muscaria and A. pantherina and hallucinogenic indoles in Psilocybe, Panaeolus und related species. 4. Toxins affecting parenchymatous organs with delayed onset of symptoms, causing mainly liver and/or kidney injury: The cyclopeptides in Amanita phalloides, A. virosa and A. verna and in Galerina and Lepiota species. Gyromitrine resp. methylhydrazine in Gyromitra esculenta. Cortinarius toxins in C. orellanus, C. speciosissimus and related species. 5. Miscellaneous substances, not necessarily toxic per se, e.g. coprin in Coprinus atramentarius which produces disulfiram-like effects when consumed with alcohol. - Intolerance to trehalose in persons with a genetic deficiency of the intestinal enzyme trehalase. - Hypersensitivity reactions to ingested or inhaled antigens of edible mushrooms, e.g. skin and respiratory reactions or even immunohaemolytic reactions complicated by secondary renal failure.

STIJVE T. (1995): Worldwide occurrence of psychoactive mushrooms - an update.   [Psychoactive mushrooms, psilocybin, ibotenic acid, recreational use]  Czech Mycology 48(1): 11-19   (published: 16th May, 1995)
  abstract   An update is given on the recorded psilocybin- and ibotenic acid-containing mushrooms on a worldwide scale. Many new psilocybian species have been discovered during the last 15 years, including representatives of the genera Psilocybe, Panaeolus, Inocybe, Gymnopilus and Pluteus, whereas only Amanita regalis was identified as a new and potent source of ibotenic acid. Recreational use of psychoactive mushrooms has spread from the USA to Europe, but here, like anywhere else, it remains a marginal phenomenon. The mushrooms commonly used are limited to a few species: in Europe it is almost invariably Psilocybe semilanceata, whereas in the USA Psilocybe cubensis is widely used. Locally, Psilocybe stuntzii and Panaeolus subbalteatus have also gained some popularity. Misuse in South America or Asia is virtually unknown, in spite of the easy availability of psychoactive fungi. The trade in “magic mushrooms”, e.g. Psilocybe cubensis and Copelandia cyanescens on the Thai island of Koh Samui, or in Indonesian Bali, only caters to European and American tourists. Finally, young people and members of the drug-using subculture in Australia and New Zealand have also become aware of the psychoactive fungi growing in their respective countries
