Good call Bob, certainly not L. percevalii. Lacrymaria velutina is a better fit overall anyhow, as you said.

Daz, you have to get back on the horse.. And /I/ didnt almost do anything. he ate them.
You picked them and you left them out, in touching range of everyone. So umm yeh.... it is your fault.

But seriously, your friend is fucking stupid.
If you had read the post carefully, you'd know it wasn't his friend, it was his girlfriend's little brother. Why didn't you ID the Deadly Galerina at this point and urge medical care? Actually you gave the wrong advice, which if went unchecked, could have lead to the kid's death .

daz01 said: I seriously still think this guy is trolling.
First, he says the guy woke up sweating and vomitting then, he contradicts himself and asks if he should be worried and if he should take him to the hospital, even though all through out the topic everyone clearly mentioned the words Galerina, marginata, toxic, deadly, painful and death. Then, says he's "waiting" for unnecessary people arriving (yet again, even though it's clearly been stated throughout here the mushrooms he ate WILL kill him) i.e. The object of a troll is getting the emoticons flaring, getting people angry, frustrated, etc. Meanwhile, he's sat on his computer/mobile phone "updating" an internet forum when someone is dying and he's partly involved in it. 
He knew everything about an offical ID request, this forum and shit but yet, his mind never thought about the fatal risks. Perhaps I just can't comprehend this amount of stupidity but, personally, I literally read more on deadly mushrooms than magic mushrooms when I first became interested in this. Natural selection at its best.
If you've read so much, then why didn't you ID them as Galerina marginata and tell them to rush to the hospital? Instead you thought it more helpful to hurl insults.

You poisoned/nearly killed your sisters brother with Galerina Marginatas and now, several days later you're out looking for mushrooms AGAIN! Stop going around, picking up random LBM's and going "Woot, they dis magick!!".

Please, I hope to god this is an epic troll that has went all this way for the luls.
Wrong again. It wasn't his sister's brother who ate the mushrooms, it was his girlfriend's brother. If you'd bothered to read the post carefully, you'd know that it wasn't aeromast who brought the mushrooms home; it was his girlfriend. It isn't like they left them out in front of a toddler. The kid snatched them and paid the price for it. This doesn't seem to be a troll. In fact, I'd say you are trolling right now by your own definition and following him to other threads to do it. Wtf?

I can be wrong, but the first specimen looks a very young one, the cap doesn't look completely developed, and if that's he case the gills definitive color could end up being different.
Aeromast, I think it's great being a Fungi enthusiast but it's a vast and complex kingdom from which we all have much to learn, I've done mushroom identification for 2 seasons now and haven't dare to eat any, even if in some cases I'm 99% sure they're edible, I rather wait until I'm 100% sure, as the risks aren't worth it.
You should probably try and learn something from mushrooms and their identification(there are plenty of books available), and while you are new at it picking up only one specimen to study instead of taking home the whole cluster, some are protected species.
Merry huntings

Well said, and at the end of they day lets say hypothetically it was aeromast who picked and consumed the mushrooms unknowingly (which it quite clearly wasn't) Why does this somehow mean that he should never look for mushrooms again?!? I have no doubt he has learnt from somebody elses actions quite well, and will probably be more caustious than most in the future.
At the end of the day we all make mistakes it's how we learn, and I have no doubt lessons were learned from this one, banging on about it after the fact doesn't help anything.

Reading comprehension? Obviously, I'm not confident enough in my abilities to actually say "It IS.". I assumed the "those look like Galerina" would of had been enough for the guy to use his initative and do something.

Like I said last time, I simply could not comprehend how stupid someone (whether that's consuming the mushrooms yourself or leaving them around in reach of a "kid") could be. EVERY single mushroom hunting guide designed for new people have the clear warnings about the risks and chance of death.

Emm.... by the time I made that post, about 50 people had said go to hospital and 99% of people said they were Galerinas. They were not insults (!?), just my opinion on the current state of the topic.

Simple mistype on the sister part, use your common sense bro  They were both hunting and I assumed they went home (girl and boyfriends live together, yeah, maybe the brother was visiting?) and left the mushrooms unattended on the kitchen (?) table.
It's called responsibility. If you have a kid walking around, you're not gonna leave the cupboard open with the lid on a bleach bottle loose. You're not gonna leave a sharp knife lying the sofa. Exact same principles.
Perhaps I was a bit upfront and blatant with my posts so I aplogise for that but I was just shocked

Was the stem pretty tough?. I found it easier to remove the cap from the stem than the stem from the ground when I found some.
not sulfur tufts imo
