actually just the opposite, the shrooms werent toxic....general rule is if the mushroom causes digestive upset it likely not poisonous....most poisonous mushrooms you eat just fine and drop dead a day or two later.....most shrooms have a chemical in them that causes digestive upset and not much else....and actually some of the gourmet ones have it aswell just in quantities that make only certain people sensitive to it sick but most people tolerate it fine in the lower dose.....
