"The top 3 species for poisonings are Chlorophyllum molybdites, Amanita pantherina, and Amanita muscaria."

I ate a Chlorophyllum molybdites once on a trip with a friend... It was before I was into identifying my own, and is kinda what got me into identification. I had gone to a pasture with my friend to look for cubes near san fran and we found this huge mushroom that looked like a cube and said since it was my first time out I could eat it... I consumed the large cap (about 4 inches across) that night with a glass of milk and later passed into sleep without notice of any effects coming on. I didn't start feeling sick till like 2 the next afternoon when I was puking in my toilet and spinning in my head, similar to vertigo, it was scary as fuck! I had the worst diahrea (i wont go into that yet.), and was puking my brains out. I consumed water the whole time and eventually made it to the hospital within a few hours. They strapped this bag around my waist to catch the sprays of bloody diahrea (oh yeah how sexy.)and ran a tube into my mouth pumping charcoal into my stomach.

I didnt fully recover till 6 days after the ingestion.
It was just about the worst experience of my life.

I'm lucky to be alive, and learned a great lesson in life.
(I also broke that kids arm with a 2X4, but dont tell anyone  )

So this is a good reason to read the shroomery, and always get someone like good ol' Toxic here to make sure your shrooming experience is going to be a safe one!

"I ate some ps. cyanescens, thinking they were just skitake, from the store. Turned out, the symptoms weren't too shabby. "
Theres a story called "the boy who cried wolf"... you should read up... what are you like 10? you need to be 18 to be on this site... If your 18 and still make up little bits of nonsense like that your going to have no social life.

Stay safe everyone.

BTW: I have a strong feeling that anyone who has been poisoned by mushrooms has since left the community

At the beginning of the season, my friend and I didn't know shit about actives. We collected every single mushroom we could find then spread them out and tried to ID them at home. We didn't eat any but still both felt really crappy all week until we quit this method. We had sinus trouble, loss of appetite, and nausea that came and went. It must have just been from touching lots of poisonous mushrooms and breathing in a variety of spores.

Of course they do, but our knowledge of why and how gets better over the years.  Thanks to instant information sharing and forums info gets processed much faster now.

I undercooked a bunch of oyster mushrooms and got bad stomach cramps and diarrhea. 
I made some pasta sauce and threw in tons of uncooked oysters.  I got sick that night but for some reason didn't realize it was from the food I ate. So lime an idiot I ate leftivers the next day and got really sick.
It wasn't like I was dying,  but it was surprisingly painful.
