Mushroom A mushroom (or toadstool) is the fleshy‚ spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus‚ typically produced above ground on soil or on its food source. The standard for the name "mushroom" is the cultivated white button mushroom‚ Agaricus bisporus; hence the word "mushroom" is most often applied to those fungi (Basidiomycota‚ Agaricomycetes) that have a stem (stipe)‚ a cap (pileus)‚ and gills (lamellae‚ sing. lamella) or pores on the underside of the cap. "Mushroom" describes a variety of gilled

Britain‚ the Death Cap Mushroom is attributed to 75% of all fatalities that are caused by ingesting mushrooms (Kibby‚ 2006). These are deaths that are certainly avoidable‚ but yet continue to happen. The Death Cap Mushroom scientific name is the Amanita phallodes. When it is ingested‚ it causes a deadly reaction in the human body. The major toxin mechanism is the inhibition of RNA polymerase II in DNA reproduction. The reason this becomes deadly is that this is a vital enzyme in the synthesis

1. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ACETYLCHOLINE Acetylcholine (ACh) is one of the first neurotransmitters to be discovered and Otto Loewi first described is as ‘vagus stuff’ as it is able to mimic the electrical stimulation of vagus nerve. Acetylcholine is produced by the enzyme choline acetyltransferase‚ using acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA) and dietary choline as substrates. Acetylcholine and the interaction with its target have played a critical role in the basic concepts of neurochemistry. Chemical

Claudius Caesar’s Death The Roman emperor Claudius Caesar had an appetite for mushrooms. Historians believe that Caesar’s wife‚ Agrippina‚ wanted to poison him. She mixed into his favorite dish of mushrooms a few of Amanita caesarea‚ a poisonous species. These mushrooms were able to block enzymes responsible for transcription. For the first 10 hours after eating the mushrooms Caesar seemed well. After 15 hours his liver cells stopped functioning. He then showed signs of nausea‚ diarrhea‚ and
