Help I ate lions mane that I grew outside. Just a quarter coin sized chunk that was mostly white but ginger brown. The lions mane now looks horrible and brown...
I’m horrified that that bacteria is growing in my body and I’m gonna get worse and worse. I feel ok I think??? Im so scared though.
Symptoms; Ate lions mane at 2pm Wednesday Woke up 1am Thursday with horrible stomach cramps and diarrhea. Puked around 2am Body temperature was normal Thursday until around 6pm when it went to 99.6 F and stayed there til around 2am Friday when I checked my temp.
All of Thursday I had nausea and horrible body aches and chills.
Did my body kill the bacteria/virus?? Is it just like any other kind of food poisoning or should I go see a doctor? I’m freaking out rn.

It sounds just like food poisoning But how are you feeling today, if its food poisoning you should be back to normal but a little tired right?

Sounds like a virus. Food poisoning doesn't last that long, and generally doesn't entail a fever. Also bacteria is digested. It doesn't "grow in your body". Take some Tylenol, get some rest, push water, and see a doctor if symptoms persist for more than a week or if your fever spikes over 103. Hope you feel better.

Symptoms are gone except nausea, but the lions mane I have looks AWFUL. I can’t figure out how to attach a pic on my phone but here’s the reddit post I made (sorry) https://www.reddit.com/r/mycology/comments/ijj2rj/what_couldve_caused_this_i_ate_some_of_this_lions/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
I’m scared my organs are gonna look like that and I heard if the symtpoms happen over 6 hours after you eat a bad mushroom, it could cause liver toxicity.

It used to be white/cream colored lol people saying that is scaring me. I grew it from a liquid culture and people said it looked like lions mane when it was younger and white. It turned completely brown the last day or two when I checked... hopefully it’s just brown from heavy rain?

some people get runs or feel liek puking from mushroom extracts in particular. but uncooked mushrooms certainly can cause stomach distress. a degree off isnt considered a fever folks now adays often have larger swings in core temps then folks did prior to 1950ish. less need for our bodies to keep temps now.. interesting!
yes can turn brown from drying up or swings in temp damage etc.
if anything sounds like covid...

I got covid tested the day after I was sick and it came back negative.
It’s definitely something though I’ve never felt that sick in my life except maybe when I was really young. Plus the lions mane looks super concerning and I’ve read if you don’t throw up/have symptoms until 6 hours or later it’s likely toxic to your liver

The only reason you should be afraid of that is if you misidentified it and at one of the species to which that rule applies (amatoxins and such). Be pretty hard to confuse an hericium for one of those...
You're fine man. Or at least, if you die, it probably won't be from that mushroom.

That was definitely a lions mane and unless it was looking like shit when you ate it then it wasnt bad.
It honestly sounds like something thats been going around my area. My whole family (wife and kids) all had similar symptoms last week and we are fine. Cant tell anyone your sick though cause its automatically covid.
You're going to be fine.

So basically you will still die OP, just not from this particular case of food poisoning or sickness if its not that.
