Abstract

Mycotoxins are fungal metabolites which when ingested, inhaled or absorbed through the skin can cause sickness or death in man or domestic animals, including birds (Pitt 1966). Toxins ingested when fungi are eaten as food (mushrooms) are excluded by common consent, as are compounds that show toxicity only to lower animals, such as insects, plants or microorganisms.
