a good rule of thumb is to NEVER touch a mushroom with your bare hands unless you're positive what it is. The Angel of Death, for example, is a member of the same mushroom family. Eating it will slowly dissolve your liver and be a very painful death, and its possible to absorb the poison through your skin. There is no antidote. Another member of the same family, oddly enough, is the edible Meadow Mushroom, which is commonly sold in grocery stores.
