I ate the Destroying Angel and survived (2006)

I used to work at UCSF, which has a world-class liver transplant program.

Just about every year, there would be an article about a family, typically immigrants from eastern europe (or maybe asia?) who picked mushrooms that looked like edible ones from their native country, and ate them. The grownups would get pretty sick (like in this report) but the kids would get deathly ill, and typically needed transplants.

If you're in the bay area there are regular mushroom fests where you can have experts tell you exactly what mushrooms you have and whether they are safe for consumption.
