Not good enough for me knowing there are Thomas Midgley Juniors out there:
On October 30, 1924, Midgley participated in a press conference to demonstrate the apparent safety of TEL, in which he poured TEL over his hands, placed a bottle of the chemical under his nose, and inhaled its vapor for sixty seconds, declaring that he could do this every day without succumbing to any problems. […] Midgley later took a leave of absence from work after being diagnosed with lead poisoning.
Yes, but a mystery mushroom would likely have much quicker-acting effects and it would be glorious to watch a bunch of these goobers keep over or absolutely trip balls on live television.
There are hundreds if not thousands of amanita’s, they do host some of the most deadly species including the death cap and destroying Angels which is what you are referring to, and yes you will get sick well after the fact, feel a little bit better and then crash hard as your liver is liquefied. I think it takes about 2 days for an excruciating death things can be done to save you, including milk thistle extract and other plants which protect the liver, most important would be purging the mushroom if caught in time, and or eating charcoal to soak up the toxins so they’re not absorbed, but hospitals have some other stuff they can do.
Not only that mushroom, the death cap as the name suggests has similar effects (same toxin), but is actually the most deadly mushroom. But yeah Amanita are the most deadly/toxic species of mushrooms.
Not all of them, Amanita muscaria Has Perhaps the longest recorded usage of any drug plants or fungi in the history of the northern world. Ask the reindeer they’ll tell you about it.
It is an anticholinergenic. But it has two actions, When Wet Ibotenic acid has an inebriating effect, when dry and cooked it converts to muscimol, which produces hallucinations and an altered state, but is not a hallucinogen but said anticholinergenic, a different class of drug.
A single discredited study accused ibotenic acid of causing brain lesions and the media has repeated it ad nauseam but it’s not accurate, I have done it both wet and dry.
Yeah true, I actually also have thought about trying muscaria, but I’m fearing a little bit the anticholinergics group of drugs… (among others because of potential to increase risk for dementia etc.)

He was the jackass who invented both leaded gasoline and CFCs and inflicted them on the world.

Isn’t the amanita mushroom one of the most deadly, and its unique symptom is that you (seem to) recover after a day or two?
…
THEN the second unique symptom hits and you get to open up the abdominal cavity and pour out the remains of the liver.

I think that particular symptom is a trait of the infamous “destroying angel” specifically.

Yes, and if you read the first and second sentences of the wikipedia you’ve linked, you might notice something that I had said in my comment.
