My neighbours eat blewitts and they haven't died yet.

Was it a blewitt type mushroom you ran afoul of? The trouble with
blewitts is they can be confused with various Corinarius. And there are
a lot of them that will make you sick or even kill you.

Maybe you should have checked the mushroom with the neighbors!

It looked exactly like a safe white mushroom that I could have got from the
fields. Except it was in my garden, that should have given me a clue. There
are some here now and I would not dream of eating them. Ever.again.
I'm not sure what they are, but I'm only going to use them to feed an enemy.
