>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".
