Have a friend doing a report on mushrooms and I need an article from a creditable source on how they have not killed anyone. Some kind of scientific study on how they can not cause death.

There was this one test which there is a source to were 1 guy died in the test and everyone in the test was dosed and the 1 guys death was not confirmed related to the shrooms but they never concluded on what killed him.

The toxicity of psilocybin is relatively low; when administered intravenously in rabbits, Psilocybin's LD50 is approximately 12.5mg/kg. In rats, the oral LD50 is 280mg/kg — almost one and a half times that of caffeine.[7] Death from psilocybin intake alone is unknown at recreational or medicinal levels.
The psilocybin content of psychoactive mushrooms is quite variable and depends on species, growth and drying conditions, and mushroom size. Typical recreational dosage is from 10-50mg psilocybin, approximately 1-5g dried mushroom or 10-50g wet mushrooms.

Dying is most likely caused by making a bad decision under the influence of the mushroom.

The only person I ever heard of dying from eating shrooms didn't know what he was picking. Know what you eat.

Well if you end up finding anything credible, you should post the link on here because I'd be interested to read it as well..

Most cases that mushroom killed someone are. Because, the person pick a deadly wild mushroom with the Psilocybes or is very young
Pick up he book
Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World: A Guide to Identification By Paul Stamets.
The most comprehensive field guide to the psilocybin-active species ever published, this field guide illustrates a wide range of species spanning the world. With excellent color photographs, nearly 100 species are fully described, including close relatives and poisonous look-alikes. A book without comparison, this field guide stands alone in its scope and describes many new species not seen in any previous works. Far more than just a field guide, this book will prove useful to mycologists, scholars, physicians, and the passionately curious. 6 x 9 inches, 256 pages. Softcover

why sources for a study?
i think you need to eat something like 16lbs of dried cubensis before your body will die from psilocybin, and its your body dying from not being able to control your breathing, not directly a toxic effect from psilocybin.
find the LD50 per kg pick a decent weight thats average like 180lbs find out how many mgs is lethal for a 180lb person find out how many milligrams of psilocybin per g. of mushrooms
then find out how many grams of mushrooms to equal a lethal dosage for 180lb man
watch their mouth hit the floor when u say something like 16lbs (not possible to eat that much) u could even keep your original mg's from your ld50 on hand and add "or this much pure psilocybin" and watch their mouth drop when its something like a pound of extracted chrystal (this is possible to die from, but impossible to obtain lol)
