Abstract:
The content of toxins from Amanita phalloides in dried carpophores is decreasing in the dependence on time. The content of alpha-amanitin found after 20 years was about one half. A mere trace of alpha-amanitin which is the most stable of all toxins was detected in a carpophore 50 years old. Degradation of amatoxins and phallotoxins by light (mainly the UV part) and high temperatures was observed.
