2493 Gyromitrin Gyromitrin is found in mushrooms. Toxin from the fungus Gyromitra esculenta. Freq. cause of mushroom poisoning Gyromitrin is a toxin and possible carcinogen present in most members of the fungal genus Gyromitra, most notably the false morel G. esculenta. 16568-02-8 5365327 C4H8N2O 100.063660 19.5°C 143 °C, 416°K, 289 °F Oral, dermal, inhalation, and parenteral (contaminated drugs). (A3101) The toxicity is caused by the conversion of the hydrazine (gyromitrin) to a hydrazine metabolite intermediate monomethylhydrazine. This occurs when gyromitrin begins to be metabolized and it undergoes hydrolysis. The necrosis and steatosis are caused by monomethylhydrazine. (L1013) Gyromitrin is converted to a hydrazine metabolite intermediate monomethylhydrazine. This occurs when gyromitrin begins to be metabolized and it undergoes hydrolysis. (L1013) 3, not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. (L135) Gyromitrin is a toxic and possibly carcinogenic chemical present in most members of the fungal genus Gyromitra, most notably the false morel G. esculenta. (L1013) Consuming large amounts of gyromitrin, such as are found in untreated false morels, may lead to catastrophic liver failure and death. (L1013) Initial symptoms of gyromitrin exposure include headache, nausea and dizziness. As gyromitrin is quite volatile, even just the presence of false morels in a poorly ventilated space may be enough to cause these symptoms.
