Abstract
Acute toxicity and toxicological investigations of methanolic extracts from Nematoloma fasciculare and N. capnoides were carried out in mice . Paralysis of the respiratory centre, severe stomac ulcers and digest ive hemorrhages were revealed with N. fasciculare; LD50 values were 24 3.29 mg/kg. No pathology was observed with N. capnoides. However, inte rpretation of edibility of this species should be done carefully.
