As an aside: according to wikipedia, there are no recorded deaths from ingestion of Amanita Muscaria. It's not really a poisonous mushroom, though it can have intense psychoactive effects when taken in large quantities.

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".
