I think what I quoted was a little tongue-in-cheek... Don't get too uptight.. I have seen Amanita compared to getting drunk in more than one place, so think about it before you get too mad.. that could also could easily be described in the same manner. Too much booze - feel like a god, check.. puke a lot, check.. pass out, check.. don't remember what you did when you wake up, check
The "coma" thing, I think, has at least some truth to it... People and creatures who've eaten them accidentally are often reported to go into a 'coma like sleep'.. it's not said to be particularly dangerous to people, usually always recover - even little kids (I think a single death has ever been attributed to an Amanita pantherina and the details about why are unclear even to the medical folks who saw the case), but when dogs scarf one down and the owner doesn't know what they've eaten, it pukes a bunch then "goes into a coma" and the vet suggests putting it down, because they figure it's going to die anyway.. when just making sure it's hydrated, doesn't aspirate and letting the animal sleep it all off is usually sufficient for recovery.
-------------------- Disclaimer - I'm just a hobbyist and cannot absolutely guarantee any ID offered. I'm most familiar with the species found in the Pacific Northwest - those found in other parts of the world may vary considerably, so always do your own research to find out what grows in your area and what lookalikes you need to be aware of. Understand that many mushroom species cannot be 100% reliably identified by photographs alone, even by an expert, so it may not be possible to go beyond suggesting a probable genus.

I’ve eaten shy of ounce, 7/8 in one evening.
They were growing half block away in some bark chips. I dried them. House mates gone to Moody Blues downtown. Figured five grams be swell. Powdered and drank. Get a call, ‘we got you a ticket.’ Hopped on old steel Schwinn bicycle and barroled to venue. At show, decent seats, 15th row or so, aisle seat, I began to get very jolly. I would clap after songs and noticed my clapping was a epicentre to more clapping, contact high clapping spreading to thin among the crowd. Intermission came, we left to get drink at bar. I sat munching the things like chips. Couple came up to me said they were sitting next to me. I offered mushroom ‘Amanita,’ they took a smaller piece. I munched them. The bag kept getting smaller and smaller. Big bag to begin as was five grams less than ounce when left to show. Back at show the jolliness grew and I was chuckling, clapping louder. Some girl began dancing in aisle next to me. Then, I had thought of band playing these songs for past fifty years or so and found a great humour. After song I got a kick out of it all and stood up from crowd with arms in air outstretched to sides. The whole band member group did as I done. We stood there and held pose. That topped me over. I sat down to shortly after have worker ask if I could politely excuse myself to the lobby. I did. I was over the show. In lobby I lurked around once then quickly saw to get out of there. Took walking, left bicycle, I forgot, stay locked and got next day. Walking downtown Eugene had me stopped to Kesey family statue at square. Kesey there with hand out reading book I sat on his lap to see what reading. Street kids came to talk as they hang around there. I began reading from book ‘ounce upon a time.’ Kids got nosey and had me giving out as said ‘amanita’ mushroom. Red and white capped I’d say. Didn’t want rub shoulders with folk so took to walking the fourteen blocks home. The bag emptied at the square left me walking. Walking got to as the blocks began to progress the walk between reading each sign began to get to point of a blackness seen. At first that black vision would be for a step or two and that would increase between next street sign to street sign. Eventually it was black vision from one green street sign to the next green street sign. A block or two home in that black vision I felt my mind drop from my brain and hit my stomach like a trampoline. Almost felt as the bounce was big enough to bring the fluids up out of gut as bounce. No upchuck. Got home and figured do some art. Began to draw a mushroom that was to have cap as eye. House mates got home and was instantly taken from heady mushroomed mind to that mushroom body load like boom. That was a bummer. Never finished the art peace. Though did have a decent night. An arrogant jolliness be what can say to the Amanita.
-------------------- Hip, hip... WhoRAy!!! Eye was thinking the other day... ahh, thinking never done me no good.

Okay, just worked out that you’d probably need to consume something in the area of 80-100 dried grams of semi potent muscaria if you weigh 70kg… so yeah, not real toxic as far as drugs go
