Scleroderma citrinum
Common fungus; not medicinal - included for identification and education about toxic lookalikes of edible puffballs.
Scleroderma citrinum, commonly known as the common earthball, is a toxic fungus often mistaken for edible puffballs. It contains sclerodermin and other terpenoid compounds that cause severe gastrointestinal and hepatotoxic effects. This species has no recognized medicinal use and is included in monographs primarily for identification and education regarding poisonous lookalikes.
Sclerodermin, a cyclic peptide, disrupts cellular membrane integrity and induces oxidative stress in hepatocytes, leading to necrosis. Terpenoid constituents may further contribute to gastrointestinal irritation by activating TRPV1 receptors and promoting inflammatory cytokine release. Ergosterol, while common in fungi, may exacerbate toxicity by altering membrane fluidity and enhancing absorption of other toxins. The combined effects result in acute gastroenteritis and potential liver injury.
