I am thinking these could be one of the Clitocybe species that has coprine in it. That would explain why you felt weird after drinking a beer.
Its probably not necessary to direct ppl to the hospital every time someone eats an unidentified mushroom and feels sick afterwards. If there is a 6-12 hour delayed onset or there is any other sign that the mushrooms contained amatoxins then getting the person to a hospital sooner rather then later will save lives.

Good advice, Alan.
I was also thinking about this mushroom. More than likely the wavy gills were just partially dehydrated. I've seen the same thing in mushrooms that are partially dried.

Yeah, agreed. I probably would have waited longer, but when you tell someone that their life may be in jeopardy, some of the more intelligent folk get a little antsy and just go to the hospital in case... Better that then not go at all when they begin to feel ill, like some people.

Well, the rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated...
In the interests of science, its a week after trying the unidentified 'shroom. Never felt any nausea or other unpleasant symptoms, just the tingling that I mentioned which went away after a few hours. And then while down in NYC on business, had 3 glasses of wine with dinner and noticed that night some splotchy rashes appear. Got back up to the NE today and went to the doctor and he said it was an allergic reaction to 'something' that would go away in a couple days (of course I told him my previous episode). So either I had something strange show up in my dinner plate or there's some residual coprine or something that didn't like cohabitating with alcohol.
Anyway, lesson learned, will never eat an un-id'd shroom again. Instead will only pay homage to the thousands who've gone before us over the last few millennia figuring out the hard way which ones were safe.
Found some more lactarius hygrophorides last weekend, good to be back in familiar territory.
