Yep, same thing happened locally a few years ago. Two ladies in their fifties went picking their normal mushrooms but unfortunately picked death caps.

It's also a really unpleasant way to die. Usually massive organ failure after a period of immense suffering; somewhere around a fortnight of immense pain.

Edit: I've just checked the story which is from the Isle of Wight 2010, a Thai lady had mistakenly picked the death caps. Long story short, when she called for an ambulance she failed to say about the mushrooms and instead believed it was caused by a Thai speciality of raw pork sausage. Who the hell would eat a raw pork sausage in this day and age???

My ex-gfs grandad used to go to the fridge and pick out and munch down of a raw sausage for a snack :D

Wribbenhall lot were always much nicer in my day, all the Stan's lot were bloody scrotes and tarts. :(

Was Dave De Santis at the High School when you were there?

I don't really see the appeal of going out forraging for food. Unless society crumbles towards the end of the month, I doubt mushroom hunting will be something I ever try.

Foraged food, like wild meat is much more flavoursome and full of natural goodness and almost zero pesticides/chemicals But overall it's the flavour.....its just sublime.
 
My father in law is a mushroom obsessive and gives us loads normally. He was injured through the season this year and we have none :(
