title: [Determination of Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus pulmonarius and Paxillus involutus toxicity over Artemia salina].
abstract: We report the toxicity of ethanolic extracts in Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus pulmonarius and Paxillus involutus over that obtained in Artemia salina. P. involutus showed the highest toxicity (LC50 = 94.4 microg/ml), similar to that detected using potassium dichromate pattern. P. pulmonarius and P. ostreatus did not show toxicity over A. salina in concentrations lower than 1,000 microg/ml.
