Cycloprop-2-ene carboxylic acid is a toxic molecule found in some mushrooms such as Russula subnigricans and Tricholoma equestre.When ingested the molecule is known to cause rhabdomyolysis.In mice by oral injection the molecule is lethal at 2.5 mg/kg of body mass and poisoning is indicated by an increase in serum creatine phosphokinase activity. Polymerization at high concentrations via ene reaction abolishes toxicity.
