The carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic activity of 11 hydrazine analogues and diazonium ions are described. These chemicals are ingredients of 22 mushroom species. Of these, one is cultivated, while the remaining 21 are wild fungi. To date, many of these mushrooms are considered to be edible. The appropriate chemistry and biochemistry investigations of the mushroom chemicals are summarized briefly. Human consumption estimates also are provided in as much as possible.
