Consumption of false morel (Gyromitra esculenta Fr.) has been associated not only with acute poisoning, but also with a carcinogenic risk. The hydrolysis of acetaldehyde-N-methyl-N-formylhydrazone (gyromitrin, the main toxic component of false morel) results in the formation of the methylating agent
