Worried I was poisoned with shrooms

I took about three caps and four stems last Friday. Today makes one week of diarrhea everyday since I ingested the shrooms. My appetite is off and my stomach hurts. What is going on? I'm starting to think they weren't shrooms but some other poisonous mushroom. I was very drunk so I don't know if I tripped or not because I went to sleep soon after eating them. And I don't know where the shrooms came from. Stupid decision. I'm not looking for a lecture here. Anyway, I woke up about 8 hours later and puked. I've had diarrhea ever since. I assumed I was just hung over but now I'm not sure! Is this normal? Any advice???
To clarify: The shrooms came from a stranger who purchased them from his friend. He and two others besides me ate them. I'm the only one with issues. One other person threw up/shit for one day.

Well no it's not normal from shrooms, there's probably something else causing it.
Has it been getting worse, better, or staying the same?
If you picked them from the ground and ate them, get checked out, if you got them from someone and they were like crackers, I wouldn't be too worried.
BTW that was dumb

With the symptoms you are describing you should get your ass to a hospital NOW because if you did eat poisonous mushrooms you are going to need medical attention or you could die. You really should have went to the doctor/hospital sooner. Amatoxin poisoning is a ticking time bomb. Eating unidentified mushrooms is no joke, for your own sake drop whatever you are doing and go seek medical help.

His only symptoms are shitting loose and not eating right from his post. I've been like that for a month without mushrooms, it could be nothing, or it could be something, but he shouldn't rush to the hospital and spend shit tons of money unless it could definitely be something, and we have too little information to go on until he responds.
I mean I wouldn't rule out poisonous mushrooms, but most of the time it isn't the case, especially a week later, unless it's gradually getting worse instead of staying the same or weakening.

I didn't pick them myself. They were given to me and three others ate them as well. Two had no issues and one other person threw up and had diarrhea for one day. I'm the only one with persistent symtoms. They looked dry but I didn't touch them. I picked them up with a spoon of peanut butter so who knows?

Also, the diarrhea hasn't changed. Not worse but not really much better.

Did they look ANYTHING like these, they usually come in different shapes and sizes, but the gold cap, whitish stems, any blue bruising?

And also, with reading what you just said, there's almost no way you were poisoned, so don't worry too much.

I was too drunk to remember what they looked like. To be honest I just ate them without care. I'm an idiot.

We all make mistakes, just learn from it. But the fact other people ate them, and no one else really got any lasting symptoms, means you have like a 99% chance of being fine. It's also not getting worse, if it was poison it would most likely be attacking your body and be noticeably getting worse over time. Might just have a stomach bug or something so it should pass.
IF you are that concerned, you COULD always go to a doctor, but based of what you said I'm positive you'll be fine, BUT I'm also not a doctor. Or you could show your friends that picture and see if they remember what they looked like, or if any of them remembering whether they tripped or not.
I'm more just curious now, the person you got them, is the guy like a dealer? I know you might not know or remember, but if they are being sold to people, chances are you would of heard of people getting poisoned around your town, but your friends would almost definitely be getting the same shit if they were poisonous.

I would go to urgent care or something to be safe. You don't even have to tell them you were shroomin. Just say you were picking wild edibles and say you think you may have misidentified one and tell them your symptoms. Better to be safe than sorry.

Ummm my wife and I met these complete strangers, a married couple, at the bar and we went back to their place. They had the shrooms. I texted them Tuesday to ask if they were having any issues and they said no. My wife got sick for one day but she feels better. The dude said he got them from his friend. What are the symptoms of eating moldy/bad shrooms? Is it possible I just got a rotten one? I'll ask my wife when she gets home if she remembers what they looked like.

I don't have health insurance so if I can avoid the doctor that'd be best. But that's why I'm here, I'm trying to decide if I should go or not.

I'd tell them the truth at the Hospital as much as you can. Your life is on the line.
You were drunk and have no idea where they came from. Basically tell them that. And that you don't know if you ate them randomly from somewhere outside since you were blackout drunk.
They will want to know the story. Based on your story it seems you ate a Gallerina which has Amatoxins. You didn't eat enough to kill yourself but your liver has been dissolving for a week. The fact that you are an alcoholic doesn't help.
I'm guessing you ate mushrooms you found while drunk under a tree mulched with wood chips.
Galerinas are pretty common. Be thankful you didn't eat more and aren't dead.
You need a activated charcoal wash of your system, monitoring, and bloodwork ASAP. You should also quit alcohol.
You probably ate poisonous mushrooms when you were blackout drunk from some wood chips under some tree or near some bushes.
I'm not gonna call you a Dumbass. Because you already know that. So go to a hospital ASAP and let them know what happened.

Oh yeah and based on the description you gave you will feel ok for a few hours (now) and then spiral downwards and die as the liver goes into final failure. So get to the hospital quick. You are about to crash and die.
You didn't take psychedelic mushrooms. You would have known .... period. and probably wouldn't have been able to sleep through em anyway.
Any vomiting? Vomiting Blood? That is the key symptom you may have missed.
Bloodwork is probably going to be very telling.

Oh so they are known good mushrooms? Well then you are probably ok. Hard to tell though.
Vomiting blood is the only thing you haven't described. And having loose stools isn't that uncommon. probably not from the mushrooms. And if it was the mushrooms you would probably be dead by now.

Sorry I possibly overreacted. You are important and so is your health.
What species of mushrooms were they?
If they were Psilocybe cyanescens they grow alongside Gallerina Autumnalis in the wild so there is a 1 in 1000 chance that one of the mushrooms was a gallerina but if you aren't vomiting blood or dead yet you are probably ok.

Well I'll give you the run down then, not to panic you, but just so you are informed for now and in the future.
Not all poisonous mushrooms will kill you, some can give you gastrointenstinal distress ranging anywhere from a few days, to weeks.
Others can cause organ failure like kidney failure, liver, or others.
Others, could be poisonous, and you could never know that you took them.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushroom_poisoning gives a decent run down on some poisonous ones and their effects.
Me and even people way more knowledgeable then me can only be so helpful with the information provided but still want to provide you with the best information we have. The only way we could tell you for 100% certainty, is if you can manage to get us a picture, like if the guy has more of them and can take a picture of them and send them to you and you post them here, it would be perfect.
But with what IS presented, I truly don't think you have anything to worry about, he said he got them from a friend, chances are if he had a stash back at his house, he took them before, or shared them with people even before you, I don't think poisons vary that much between individuals so someone else would most likely of had or still have serious problems if they were poisonous, just keep a very close eye on your condition, if you start getting worse, definitely go see a doctor, but atm I think it might just be some stomach bug or even possibly what you said that it might of just been rotten or moldy or something.
If they were cracker dry which I know you said you don't know, it's basically impossible for them to get rotten or moldy, they would need to be damp/wet and stored improperly for that.
It's unfortunately a guess without knowing more, but just monitor yourself and make sure it doesn't get worse JUST INCASE, it's probably nothing, but you never know, but if you can manage to get him to send you a picture, we can know definitely.

What is everyone else reading that I'm not lol, he has some loose shit and isn't eating 100% normal which could be symptoms of thousands of things, apart from that he isn't the only one who took them. The one other person who had symptoms threw up and had loose shit the next day, after being really drunk the day before.....

Thanks dudes. And thanks for not judging me. For the most part. Except the person who called me an alcoholic. Which I'm not. I drink less than once a month and usually it's only a beer or two. Which is why I was so drunk. It was a rare, wild night and I didn't know my limits.
just gonna watch myself and go to the dr only if I worsen. Thanks again. Please feel free to continue to add to the discussion.
