Getting nervous pls add opinion

at around 9:30 pm me and my friend went shroomin and found about 8 large mushrooms in a cow pasture with domed shaped<possibly because they werent fully grown>shrooms that bruised chocalate brown in about 20 minutes and the stems were hollow and white and dried quickly, they were were off-white when picked and gills were easily visble from the top of cap and brownish near edges there were no rings on the stems and the they left a blackish gray sporeprint we ate four shrooms a peice and helt no nausea or any classic signs of trippiin on shrooms andits been almost 2 hoours since consumption and no abnormalness at all. so we were just wondering what should be done? 
P.S. we ate them after about 2 hours of looking through several poisonous, phychedelic and non-poisonous shroom books we found no matching poisonoous shrooms and they had many qualities of phychedelic shrooms but weve had no
OK we are faily certain we ate Coprinus sterquilinus the onnly difference is the the size the ones we ate were 1/3 larger but they match up very closely closley no unusual signs 28 hours later

why would you eat a shroom that you could not identify?
if you die, it's called natural selection
-------------------- I wish psychedelic mushrooms were legal, because I would like to indulge in this amazing fruit of the earth. Unfortunately, I can only learn about this interesting hobby, and cultivate legal mushrooms.

I think you probably consumed harmless coprinus mushrooms, but we should be sure, so please try to answer my questions if you can.

If you can get the exact same shroom you ate also I have never heard of this but you could try to puke up the shrooms 1 so you do not digest them all the way, if you havent already and 2 you would have a gross shroom sample but not a very good but I think it would be better than nothing,
WEATHER YOU CAN GET THE SAMPLE SHROOM OR NOT GO TO THE HOSPITAL!

It's only been two hours. He still has time, so lets see if we can figure out what he ate, before we send him to the hospital.

Can you tell me how you took the spore print? did you just press the gills against paper, or did you let the mushrooms set for a while to drop spores?

Gray spores that sounds weird. Sounds dangerous to me. I would go to a hospital weather we find out if it is poisonis or not because what if you miss identify it?
Well here is my words of wisdom, From noe untill 3 days if you get really sick and vomit and shit and if any blood comes out of you in any way shape or form go to the hospital, but if that is happening depending on the shroom it could be to late I belive.

I have been working with gtx via PM for what seems like an hour. I think he ate either Coprinus comatus or more likely Panaeolus semiovatus with a cracked cap. I could be wrong though.
He knows to go to the hospital if he gets sick. Even if he ate a deadly mushroom, he will be fine if he gets help as soon as the symptoms start.
I have class in the morning, and its almost 3:00 AM I'm going to bed.
GTX, I hope you will remember to properly identify your mushrooms in the future.
Good night Shroomery.

The spores shouldn't have much to do with the problem! It's the mushroom itself that consists of most of the material anyway, so regardless of the spores, eating random stuff is dangerous.

This common idea of 'go to the hospital when symptoms start and you'll be fine' is absolute crap. For amatoxins, most of the damage has been done by then. Of course in this case, it is highly unlikely that gtx ate something with amatoxins (spring and in a cow pasture - amanitas and galerinas unlikely), but in general earlier treatment is better.
The best advice is don't eat mushrooms you're not sure about - and even if you are sure ALWAYS SAVE A SAMPLE in case something like this happens. Don't go eating your whole stash.

This is from the Emedicine website for amatoxins:
Quote:
Time of onset of symptoms Phalloidin causes gastrointestinal symptoms about 6-12 hours after ingestion.
Renal and liver toxicity caused by amanitin is evident 24-48 hours after ingestion
http://www.emedicine.com/ped/topic76.htm
As you can see, vomiting and diarrhea occur 12-18 hours before detectable liver damage. This gives a window for treatment in which a persons life can be saved. A person who waits until stage two of the poisoning is a goner.
It's not that I disagree with what you said. My advice was particular to this situation where the likelihood of amatoxin poisoning was very low. If someone suspects he has eaten a deadly poisonous mushroom, he should induce vomiting and seek medical attention immediately.

gtx, hopefully you've figured out that you got lucky. You should never eat any unidentified mushrooms. That you don't seem to have been poisoned is pure luck. Symptoms could still show up for 24 hours after ingestion (or even more in some cases). If you become ill, call the poison center (1-800-222-1222) and follow their advice.
xmush, you are absolutely correct when you say that the earlier the treatment the more effective it is. This assumes that immediate treatment is available. The standard procedure in most places in cases of this type (possible poisonings) is to contact the local poison center. After 2 hours, unless there is good reason to believe that a deadly (amatoxin containing) mushroom has been ingested, most poison centers recommend waiting to see if any symptoms develop. This is primarily because the likelihood of the individual having actually eaten a deadly mushroom is very low. Also, after 2 hours, treating the patient by emesis makes no significant difference in the outcome. Treatments will be based on symptoms, so a wait-and-see approach is reasonable.
shroomydan, the symptoms of the liver or kidney toxicity aren't evident until 12-24 hours after ingestion, but that's because it takes that long for symptoms of damage to those organs to show up. Various toxins produced normally by the body into the blood and filtered out by the liver and kidneys build up to levels high enough to create those symptoms.
Happy mushrooming!

Shroomydan,
I definitely wasn't trying to say that your advice in this particular situation was not good -- as discussed the probability that this person had consumed amatoxins was exceedingly small, and given your PMs with the individual, you had pretty much ruled that out completely. So your advice was perfect in this case. But it did spur memories of other posts where people have given sort of cavalier advice to someone who had eaten an unidentified shroom, telling them to just wait it out and such. Especially if it caught very early (less than two hours as ToxicMan suggested), inducing vomiting and giving medicines like charcoal which delay absorption of things from the intestinal tract can be somewhat effective. And also as T-man points out, by the time liver or kidney disease is evident in a patient, the damage has been done. That is why if there is high probability of amatoxin ingestion (and by high I mean as small as say 10%), treatment should begin immediately.
Sorry if I ruffled any feathers. I definitely wasn't trying to contradict Shroomydan's excellent advice in this particular case. I was just trying to make the general point that waiting for symptoms to show up is not a good idea if there is any possibility that an amatoxin containing mushroom has been eaten.

I'm not even going to begin to tell you how many random and unidentified weird looking fungi me and my girlfriend ate when we were first hunting... I can't count them on my hands and feet.
You guys woulda spat on my grave had I died I was sooooooooo goddamned lucky, I'm so thankful that we eventually found the right ones (with the help of shroomery guides (spore prints etc)) If we'd kept going, we would have eaten the deadly ones that look like subs :P that were growing really close to them
Sorry guys for risking your livelihood and hobbies!
