Traceability of Amanita fuliginea poisoning using DNA barcoding and UPLC-MS/MS

Amanita fuliginea is a lethal poisonous mushroom found in Japan and southern China. The primary toxins are α-amanitin (α-AMA) and β-amanitin (β-AMA). There is a lack of systematic and comprehensive investigations on the traceability of A. fuliginea poisoning due to technological limitations. This study aimed to examine whether A. fuliginea poisoning incidents could be traced using DNA barcoding and ultraperformance liquid chromatography coupled...
