  >As an aside: according to wikipedia, there are no recorded deaths from ingestion of Amanita Muscaria. Well, the Wikipedia lemma puts it this way: Although classified as poisonous, reports of human deaths resulting from its ingestion are extremely rare. A fatal dose has been calculated as 15 caps.[55] Deaths from this fungus A. muscaria have been reported in historical journal articles and newspaper reports,[56][57][58] but with modern medical treatment, fatal poisoning from ingesting this mushroom is extremely rare.[59] Many older books list Amanita muscaria as "deadly", but this is an error that implies the mushroom is more toxic than it is.[60] The North American Mycological Association has stated that there were: "no reliably documented cases of death from toxins in these mushrooms in the past 100 years".
