The antitumor activity of an aqueous extract of «Amanita phalloides» Fr. has been tested against Ehrlich tumor in mice. The simultaneous inoculation of these ascites cells and of «Amanita phalloides» extract acts on the development of the tumor which is completely inhibited in 50% of animals. Since similar results had been previously obtained with Yoshida tumor AH 130 in rats and with Crocker sarcoma 180 in mice, the antitumor activity of « Amanita phalloides» seems worth further investigations.
