Are magic mushrooms fatal? No, not really, not at all... but people have died during trips, people have eaten poisonous mushrooms, and people have eaten soooo much SYNTHETIC psilocybin they died. There is a chance of doing something stupid during a trip and getting yourself killed, and I imagine there is the (very very rare) chance someone out there is allergic to psilocybin.

From the above link -
Quote:
You are more at risk of dying (or physical harm) because of a tripping accident than you are of dying from a mushroom overdose. There are many more reports of people dying from accidents while on mushrooms than of people who died from eating magic mushrooms.
I imagine that it's possible to have a heart attack from the stress of an intense trip, but healthy younger people shouldn't have anything to worry about. Retirees don't trip much anyways.
(Off topic musing: Would shrooms affect older people differently?)

i recall reading A VERY extensive report on the toxicity of psilocybian mushrooms, it stated that chronic toxicity will at nost give you flashbacks and that mild toxicity has no negative side effects, however its certainly not good for your liver, so if you have a bad case of diabetes, or something along thous lines its possible it could be the cause of your death
