If you suspect a poisoning, contact a physician, the closest hospital ER, poison control center, or dial 9-1-1, depending on the severity of the reaction. US Poison Control is 1-800-222-1222
The NAMA also has some information on poisonings click here.

For help on fungi identifications . . .
You can post to Mushroom Observer & iNaturalist to find help with identification, including in our iNaturalist projects where individual members may have ideas. You can contact us with questions about how to get started on those sites.
There are also many Facebook groups that are focused on identifying edible fungi. We suggest Wild Food Wisconsin or Mushroom Identification Group. Be sure to follow their guidelines.

Here is a link to Christine's observation! Check out how this type of fungi stains its wood substrate teal with a pigment it produces called xylindein. That naturally-dyed wood is used in some crafts.
