The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.4 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00066 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.34 SJR: 0.274 SNIP: 0.41 CiteScore™:: 2.8 H-Index: 37

ABSTRACT

As part of the safety evaluation of culinary-medicinal Royal Sun Agaricus, Agaricus brasiliensis KA21, for human consumption, we performed the bacterial reverse mutation test, the mouse micronucleus test, and mouse lymphoma test using A. brasiliensis KA21 as the test substance. The reverse mutation test utilized five bacterial strains, including Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA98, and TA1537, and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrAO. For the micronucleus test we used mice. For the mouse lymphoma test, we used one of the most commonly used mammalian cell mutagenesis systems; the L5178YTK +/− mouse lymphoma-TK assay detects the mutations at the thymidine kinase locus caused by base-pair changes, frameshift, and small deletions. All the tests were conducted according to the guidelines for genotoxicity testing of drugs by the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare, Japan. In the bacterial reverse mutation test, no toxicity was observed up to a dose of 5,000 μg/plate. In the mouse micronucleus test, no toxicity was noted up to a dose of 1 g/kg body weight. In the mouse lymphoma test, frequency of the mutation was equal both in the presence or absence of KA21. Supporting the long history of human consumption of A. brasiliensis, the data shown in this study strongly indicate the safety of this mushroom.
