Novel SCAR markers for accurate diagnosis of toxic <i>Chlorophyllum molybdites</i> and <i>C. globosum</i>.

ABSTRACT: Toxic Chlorophyllum molybdites and C. globosum are mistaken for wild edible mushroom species under the same genus, and those under Macrolepiota. These species have similar morphological characteristics and occupy the same ecosystems. Accidental ingestion of C. molybdites and C. globosum can lead to gastrointestinal syndromes including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In severe cases, clinical manifestations, such as dehydration, bloody stools, and profuse sweating, may occur. Given that diagnostic characteristics of poisonous mushrooms are inadequate, the use of molecular techniques is needed. In this study, we developed specific SCAR markers for toxic C. molybdites and C. globosum and used to simultaneously distinguish these toxic species vi
