The cause of the encephalopathy is not clear at the present time. Some hypothetical causes were raised; one of them was a toxic substance present is Pleurocybella porrigens. Therefore, we focused our attention on hydrogen cyanide (HCN) to be present in the mushroom in this study. HCN was identified in the mushroom bodies of both Pleurocybella porrigens and Grifola frondosa by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry; they showed base peaks at m/z 27 in their mass spectra. After identification of HCN, quantitation was made especially for Grifola frondosa; they were 1.9 - 2.3μg /g wet weight for fresh mushrooms and 3.1 - 3.7 for those about 2 week after their harvest. However, to clarify the relationship between the encephalopathy and HCN present in Pleurocybellaporrigens, much studies remain to be done.}, pages = {158--159}, title = {スギヒラタケおよび近縁きのこの法中毒学的検討}, volume = {23}, year = {2005} }
