Children die from eating mushrooms From correspondents 18aug04
SIX children died and a dozen others were hospitalised in Romania in the last three days after eating poisonous mushrooms picked by their parents, hospital officials said today.
They said three of the deaths occurred in the central-west region of Clug and the three others in the central region of Mures, where heavy rain in recent weeks helped the growth of the mushrooms.
Doctors said they believe the mushrooms the children were given are usually good to eat but had mutated into a poisonous kind.

It is stupid to eat mushrooms yourself if You're not 100% sure what they are, but giving them to Your children...

the children were given are usually good to eat
i think they where 100% sure, its just something happened, like the doctors said they maybe mutated radiation possibly, or maybe they just mistook some deadly ones for healthy ones.
besides i dont think they are doing spore prints and checking the shroomery before they eat thier dinner meal that they have been eating for generations
i still agree with what you said however

Kind of like when the neighbors dog mutates into a poisonous dog and starts killing anybody that touches it?

well i only said that because romania is next to ukraine, and in Chornobyl(the nuclear reactor that blew up) is in ukraine, and since radiation stays in the ground for a long time, it might have done something
i would still say that miss id'd however

mutated..
Romania has got much problems with hazardous toxic waste, like organomercury compounds for sowing-seed treatment that farmers just discard the easy way. Or a biotoxin, like from a nearby mould.
If the word was that the musdhrooms had absorbed say heavy metals like organomercury (note methylmercury) it could be mistranslated as "mutated"as it means "taken on other traits" which doesnt necessarily mean genetic in most countries. Mushroom/mutated is catchy!
Poor kids..

exactly why someone should grow their shrooms rather than go lighting up cow patties.

yeah, hahahaha...
I must add that wiccan seeker is right though, mushrooms do absorb nutrients from all parts of the substrate they are attatched to. If they were to say intake concentrations of mercury, it could have very well been the cause.
