What happens if i eat a mouldy mushroom!?!


Question: I just cooked some mushrooms that were on their way out! Some of them had bits of mould on them that i cut off! I then proceeded to cook and eat them.

Do you think i will die, or will i just get high?

Most likely, nothing. They might taste a bit musty, but that's it. There is a chance that you will get sick for a few hours. Some molds make vomitoxin.... won't kill you, but might make you nauseous or throw up. The majority of molds won't harm you, in fact, some are helpful (think blue cheese, some fermented beverages/sauces). I'm sure I've consumed a ton of mold over my 50 + years....

Maybe that's why I'm bald??????

Cry, then high, then die.

Ohh food poisoning from fungi is one of the worst things ever! If you can bear to do it, try and throw em up now

you ll run to the bog & drop a sloppy log

Absolutely nothing.

just sit down and play some pink floyd. enjoy..

none, but you may be sick

you will die and they wont taste nice

haha i ave no idea, i just did the same only i didnt cook them, just sliced them up an put them in my sandwich......... tell my friends an family i luv them

Mushroom poisoning? Well, it "causes death in about half of the people affected unless treated right away".

You probably need to make sure that if you do have food poisoning, that it stems from the mushroom and not something else.

Dodgy stomach!

Depends on the species of mushroom and the species of mold. If you got all the mold off, and the mushrooms are the plain commercial types, all you'll get is lack of hunger.

none of the above. just food poisoning will b on the way if u eat them

Neither, I'm sure you will be fine.

Have a good weekend........no worries!.......xxxxx

Black or pink mold is bad, green or blue is fine. Don't worry - they won't get you high if they are just from the supermarket. Worse case scenario: upset tummy.
