Two villagers died and seven others fell seriously ill after they ate poisonous mushrooms, collected from the woods in Kok Sathon sub-district in Thailand’s north-eastern province of Loei.

 

The nine villagers developed stomach aches and diarrhoea after having eaten the cooked mushrooms and were rushed to the district hospital for emergency treatment.

 

A 72-year-old woman died of sudden kidney and liver failure. A 41-year-old man also died.

You'd think those village foragers would be able to tell a good mushroom from a poisonous one, but no.

Looks like the 72 year old lady was too trusting, I don't think she did the foraging but did enough of the eating to end her days.

Pity they don't say which species were to blame. Death angel? Some webcap? Because of heavy rains Thailand must be a paradise for mushroom aficionados. I've never heard of mycological outings or mycological societies in Thailand though.
