Death, illness, insanity (hallucinogenic mushrooms can be a serious threat to your brain), disfigurement, permanent impairment and if any of these things happen to you there is a good chance at least one person will laugh at you to boot. Some common wild mushrooms are: Amanita virosa, a very plain looking small white mushroom with a smallish, flattish cap. Eating one will kill you in a few hours to a few days. It is very painful. Common name is the Death Angel. Galerina autumnalis. A very pleasant golden mushroom with a thin stalk and flattish cap. Also causes death. Common name is the Deadly Gallerina. Pleurotus ostreatus. It looks like a thick fan growing off the side of wood and ranges in colour from grey to salmon. This mushroom is delicious and totally safe. Common name is the Oyster Mushroom. Luckily, you don't have to go out of your way to get these, they sell them at grocery stores. Amanita phalloides. Looks very similar to white button mushrooms at the grocery store. I little bigger and more light tan than white. This is considered the world's deadliest mushroom. The common name is the Death Cap. After 5-24 hours (12 average) of one bite you will have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and cramping. This will be followed by a brief perdiod of feeling better and then kidney and liver failure leading to coma and then death. If you want to harvest fresh mushrooms there are lots of fun kits and guides to growing your own. 90% of mushrooms are safe to eat and the majority of those are either tasteless or taste bad. But, you can grow safe, delicious mushrooms on logs in your yard very cheaply and easily. Try Googling "grow your own mushrooms" and you will find stuff like this http://www.mycosource.com/kits.htm. All of these kits are $25, a cheap plentful source of tasty food and it saves you a fortune in medical and funeral expenses. and on that happy note, have a happy camping trip!

Poisonous mushrooms can do a wide variety of things to your body. Many mushrooms will only give you a stomach ache and nausea and cause you to vomit, sometimes violently for many hours. Other poisonous mushrooms can cause liver failure and will result in death. Never consume a mushroom unless it has been identified by an expert (a mycologist) as safe.

Nothing. It may have some short term psychological effects if you experience a horrible trip or you may have flashback instances if you take several large doses within a short period of time. Overall, there is nothing dangerous about them. They aren't addictive and they are perfectly healthy to take if you know the proper dosage and how long to wait before taking them again.

Yes because they live in the wild and they can kill you in a hour because they can hurt your lungs so if you see one never eat it
