Sm. Badalyan et al., INVESTIGATION OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY METABOLITES IN A CHEMICAL STUDY OF CORTINARIUS-ARMILLATUS (CORTINARIACEAE, TELAMONIA), Cryptogamie. Mycologie, 15(4), 1994, pp. 223-228
The fruit-bodies of Cortinarius armillatus were investigated for polyo
ls, sugars, phenolic acids, alkaloids and fungal toxins using thin-lay
er chromatography methods. Arabitol, mannitol, trehalose, fructose, 4-
hydroxybenzoic acid, choline and cortinarine A were detected from aque
ous and methanolic extracts of the mushroom. The fungal toxins, alpha-
amanitin, orellanine, muscarine, muscimol and bufotenine were not obse
rved. These chemical investigations and acute toxicity studies in mice
supported the non-toxicity of C. armillatus.
