Answer 1

Stop doing that! Even an expert can get poisoned...since your not sure I don't think you are...go to the hospital and bring the mushroom to make sure it can be serious really serious! There are a bunch of berries 'and stuff' that are really pretty/harmless looking but are extremely poisonous one bite can kill you! Mistletoe can be posinous!!! Your lucky you haven't died. VERY common seen flowers are actually extremely poisonous. Don't believe me?

Also, you should make sure your Last Will is up-to-date.

Answer 3

NEVER eat anything that you cannot identify as being safe.  There are several toxic mushrooms and plants.  Many mushrooms will kill you 3 days after you eat them from liver toxicity.  Many other plants contain toxic alkaloids that have no known antidote.  So, please stop eating things from the woods.  In fact, you should get to a hospital soon for liver function tests.  They may be able to get you on a liver donor list before you die in case the mushrooms that you ate are hepatotoxic.  Good luck and I hope you make it.

Mushroom identification is an art that can be challenenging even to a weathered mycologicist. The woods, moreso than opened fields, also tent to house some of the more dangerous species of mushrooms. The color of the mushroom is not the best way to identify them, as colors can vary between individuals of the same species. Instead, you should try identifying them using the shap of the cap, the color of the gills, whether or not the gills are opened or closed and whether or not it has a veil.

I suggest picking up a copy of the National Audobon Society's field guide to Mushrooms and using careful identification.

Answer 5

read the article, my advise is not to eat mushrooms that you cannot identify as poisonous or not.

in the article under symptoms such as severe diarrhea is mentioned.

Maybe you should go to the er. How old are you anyway?
