What's the probability that you'll consume a deadly mushroom?

This is a for real question, what are the chances that if you buy shrooms from a dealer you'll be eating deadly ones. I never thought about it really, but I was just wondering. I realize there could always be possible mishaps but are there? Rarely? Never? Sometimes?
Help me out (:

Well I know people who didn't know any better and bought grocery store mushrooms from shady folk thinking they were getting shrooms. The guy doing this didn't last for long though.

It's unethical to spread poisonous mushrooms. Maybe it;s one of the reasons why:
-mushrooms are not THAT popular -many countries have outlawed them, even the netherlands.
buying supplies from established dealers is somehow safe; they have business ethics.
maybe authorities are scared about street market for mushrooms, without any option to control it.
contrast to marihuana- there are no poisonous or deadly strains.
I have read that this red argaric mushroom is always poisonous, and ppl can take damage or even die if they take too much, besides that it is special and maybe rude on it's own, normal dosage should not be very poisonous.
if the material is dried, pulverized etc., you actually can't easily verify what it is, and have to trust the dealer.

I'd say if your concerned don't buy them. Because when you eat them that will be on your mind and you don't need negativity like that on your mind.

I'd say 1% at the most. It depends on how reliable your dealer is.

if its mushrooms collected in the wild that they are selling yes. There are species of poisness mushrooms look very similar to active species, even almost identical.
A very knowledgable mushroom hunter however would know how to tell the difference.
Chances are though, they would have been grown indoors, which in that case is pretty unlikly to ever happen.
if its just some guy pushing mushrooms id be a bit wary.

No, but our government does spray cannabis grows they find south of the border with toxic chemicals (eg paraquat), and this ends up getting sold to unsuspecting tokers.

It's only poisonous in the sense that psilocybin mushrooms are poisounous. In fact, in the last century, there were more recorded deaths from toxic side-effects of consuming psilocybian mushrooms (a grand total of one death when a young child accidentally ingested some Psilocybe baeocystis, went into convulsions, and died) than from fly agarics (which have no recorded deaths in the last 100 years).
Most people don't enjoy their effects, but I think that's because they're taking too much. I love the effects of these at low doses (a couple tablespoons of freshly-chopped cap), and they make a delicious foodstuff.
In response to the OP: In general, the shrooms you buy from dealers are P. cubensis which were cultivated in someone's home. There is no chance of these being poisonous mushrooms. While it's very rare, I have occasionally heard of mushrooms picked in the wild being sold, and in that case you have to trust the ability of whoever picked them... which is not recommended if it isn't someone you know well.
As long as you're buying cubes, you should be fine. Especially if you see those little gold flakes of vermiculite from the substrate. (Even if they happen to be picked from a cowfield, cubes are pretty recognizable).

If you eat mushrooms, you will probably die.
