2 die after eating poisonous mushrooms in Aichi
Saturday, August 27, 2005 at 15:32 JST
NAGOYA ? A man and a woman in their 60s have died after eating poisonous mushrooms they picked in a forest, health officials in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture, said Saturday. It is the first fatal case involving mushrooms known as "nise kurohatsu" since 1996 in Japan, the officials at Toyohashi public health center said.
The two picked the mushrooms on Wednesday in a forest. They apparently thought that they were "kurohatsu, " which are not poisonous, the officials said. The pair ate the mushrooms in miso soup, and started developing symptoms such as breathing difficulties about half an hour later.

certain species of mushrooms look very similar, people need to be very careful when picking & eating.

Care to elaborate on how these two had this coming to them? Or, are you just assuming based on your prior belief in karma? If so, there are plenty of better times to make the comment that would apparently support the theory... rather than when a couple apparently innocent people get killed. Or are they paying for the general crimes of man? In that case, "W00t everyone who dies, ever."

Innocent?
How do you figure that? The committed the crime of eating a poisonous mushroom and were quickly sentenced. Perhaps it was a harsh sentence, but not everyone gets the luxury of a warning.

People seriously need to be careful when it comes to wild mushrooms. When I was a toddler, I was in the hospital for a drug overdose (got into the medicine cabinet)..and I shared a room in the PICU with another little girl who was about 10 months old. She was fighting to survive after eating a mushroom in her back yard. She was just too little and her liver couldn't take it, and she died. Her mom probably didn't even know those mushrooms were there.

How is it karma if it's a mistake that can hurt only them?
There's a difference between simple cause and effect, and the idea of karma. Yes, it was a stupid mistake, and they paid dearly for it.
