Amish family of 11, including baby, sickened by toxic mushrooms — but have no phone to call 911

Just so it is said plainly, that is a photo of a Death Cap. Not that I would know, but according to that very interesting page you linked.

A family friend of ours has the distinction of being a cardiologist and rather prolific mushroom hunter, he’s also served as an expert witness on poisoning cases that relate to eating the wrong fungus. I’m honestly a little surprised that this happened to an Amish community, most of the cases he got brought in on were families who emigrated from somewhere with a similar, but edible local shroom.
