SOme Mushrooms are venemous by experi∣ence, for some have died by them, and even whole families. Seneca called them a Voluptu∣ous Poyson. They kill not onely when they are eaten, but when they are smelt.
The Symptomes are when they are taken in too great a plenty, they cause strangling, or when they are not not well boyled or prepared; they also puff up the belly, cause hickets, ulcerate the guts, suppress the urin, and cause horror, cold
sweat, Syncope, and somtimes Epilepsies, pain, and madness, and death.
Those Mush••ooms that of their own Nature are poyson,* 1.1 are more dangerous then such as by plenty eaten, or by ill preparation do hurt.
Vomit presently: Take Broom flowers,* 1.2 Elder-flowers, each two pugils; bark of Dan••wort two drams, Radish, Dill, Arage seed, each a dram; A∣garick half a dram: boyl them in Hydromel, add to the straining, Oyl of Rue an ounce, make a Potion.
Make Clysters of Organ, Hysop, Rue, Calamints, Scordium, Hiera, with Agarick, Honey of Roses, Oyl of Rue. These resist malignity, Calamus, Or∣gan, Hysop, Rue, Watercresses, Wormwood, Birth∣wort, Garlick.
Treacle, Mithridate, Oxymel simple, and of Squils. But Honey is the proper Antidote against Mush∣rooms.
