Poisonous mushrooms have fascinated scientists and laypersons alike
for thousands of years. Almost all mushroom fatalities are due to
the genus Amanita, whose poetic common names (death cap, destroying
angel) attest to their lethality. In his classic 1986 book, Theodor
Wieland covered the state of our knowledge about the chemistry and
biochemistry of the toxins of Amanita mushrooms up until that time,
with a particular focus on the decades of chemical research by him
and the Wieland dynasty (including his father, brother,
brother-in-law, and cousin). Wieland's book is now mainly of
historical interest, with its exhaustive overview of the early
chemical studies done without benefit of methods taken for granted
by modern chemists. This book is a complete top-to-bottom revision
of Wieland's 1986 book. The material covers history, chemistry, and
biology with equal thoroughness. It should be of interest to
natural products chemists and biologists, professional and amateur
mycologists, and toxicologists. The three scientific fields that
are most relevant to the book are natural products chemistry,
mycology, and fungal molecular genetics. Dr. Walton is an expert in
all three. To maximize the broad utility and appeal of the book,
care has been taken to define all technical terms specific to a
particular discipline, so that, for example, mycologists will be
able to understand the relevant chemistry, and chemists will be
able to understand the relevant fungal biology.
