Shrooms the film

[Paladino]

Last night me and a couple of my friends were watching shrooms last night and I was just wondering in the film there was two different types, normal ones and ones with black nipples on them that make you have a really bad trip and all the rest of it, so what I was wondering can you actually get ones with the black nipples on them and if so what it does to the girl in the film can that actually happen if people them ones ?

The Deaths' Head mushroom does not as far as i know exist in reality, but the Death Cap Mushroom does. Its scientific name is Aminita phalloides, and it doesn't look like a Psilocybe mushroom at all. The death cap mushroom is actual from europe but has become quite prominent in certain parts of the U.S.

The death's head shroom in the movie is modeled on Amanita phalloides, called both the death cap and the death's head mushroom. This is one of the most poisonous of all known mushrooms; in fact it is one of the species involved in the majority of human deaths from mushroom poisoning. Poisoning by this is characterized by a delay of between 6 and 24 hours from the time you take it to the beginning of symptoms. During this time, the cells of the kidneys and liver are being attacked. There is no antidote. Mortality is between 10 and 15 percent. "According to the ancient Irish druids, these are like a portal to another dimension" — there is no reason to believe that this mushroom is hallucinogenic in any way.

The movie was ok quite boring in places but good

Thanks for clearing that up for me :)

1 death cap mushroom contains 90mg of a toxin which in humans a lethal dose is between 5 - 10 mg. recently i think a week ago a young girl ate 2. it's amazing she lived the doctor was astounded. in adults if you eat 1 you have a 10-15 percent mortality rate. this rate increases among children and that's just for eating 1. you can die for up to 16 days later. it's not uncommon for a 24 hour delay in symptoms occuring after ingestion during that time victims are often being subjected to considerable internal damage. it causes organs such as the liver to completely fail. the only treatment is organ transplant. there is no antidote. it contains over 20 toxins the 1 i just explained is just 1 of them. never take 1. they account for 90 percent of mushroom related deaths

what did we learn from this? that people exagerate shit. ya deathcaps can kill you but really trips on ordinary shrooms are not like that. Trips on the other shit will kill you but they wouldnt make you a psychopath

Yeah I realise now that it was over exageratted but I actually thought that could happen. I thought the talking cow was hilarious though.

Overall I thought it was a good film but it is really trippy and I would not like to watch that high.
