Dear Tanay ji,
Copying the Wikipedia link, Is it possible it is not lepiota because
it is supposed to be poisonous according to this link, unless I am
getting it wrong.

Thanks Pankaj ji for the Info.
Mushrooms, especially wild growing store C�sium-137 and Strontium and
therefore only cultivated mushrooms were recommended to be used in the
kitchen, after the Tschernobyl accident. We were warned not to eat the very
good and popular mushroom Pfifferling (Cantharellus cibarius) from bavaria
or ukraine, because of the fallout there.
I wonder, if this tiny mushroom from china has stored some dangarous think
and so "killing" people. Anyway they are searching for the cause.
Thanks again for the info.
Regards
Nalini

Dear all,
This is a very common phenomenon where the plant and fungi are known to accumulate metals or heavy metals in them. This particular feature has lead to the development of bio-remediation. The plants were initially used as bio-remediants but later fungi and bacteria have over taken the popularity, the simple reason is the growth rate factor. Many mycelial fungi and mushrooms in the world over has been or is being used to remove such toxic pollutants. They are known to remove, heavy metals, aliphatic, aromatic hydrocarbon and many other. after the remediation is complete these bio-forms are cautiously removed from the area. But when such organisms grow wildly in regions with toxicants present largely on the substrate they tend to accumulate it within themselves as a physiological phenomenon and enters into the food chain through animals or human may leads to many related diseases and can even lead to cancer.

Regards

Tanay

Thanks for your comments.

In Traditional Healing, instead of labeling any wild mushroom as poisonous or beneficial, the Traditional Healers give emphasis on the place where is grows. I have learnt that same mushroom species growing in different places possess different properties. For example wood mushroom (Bracket Mushroom) growing on dead Lannea tree is considered poisonous whereas same species growing on Pterocarpus is considered beneficial.

And poisonous mushroom is not a curse for Traditional Experts. Instead of using it alone they use it in form of combinations. In these combinations presence of other ingredients nullifies its toxic effects.

While documenting Traditional Medicinal Knowledge about Medicinal Mushroom, I gathered much information on this aspect. During college study I learnt only one course on Mushroom and that is Mushroom growing but in Nature's experimental fields I am getting vast knowledge about Mushroom.

Here is link to my recent work on Medicinal Mushroom.
