In the absence of a definitive identification of the mushroom, all ingestion should be considered serious and treated. Liver and kidneys are the organs affected. Treatment is largely supportive. Drink plenty of water for gut irrigation. You have to use activated charcoal, which plays an important role in limiting absorption of most toxins.
