The following section is focused on the poisonous mushrooms, the most important representatives and the mechanism of action of their poisons. Part three explains the issue of edible mushrooms and the poisonings, which may cause. In particular they are biogenic amines, the work monitors their chemical composition, origin, structure and distribution, occurrence, biological effects and methods of measurement (gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, thin layer chromatography and capillary electrophoresis)
