Can i die from eating too many Mushrooms?

[Felix]

On my way to the Military base near Rosewood i collected a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of mushrooms. When i got tired i went into a small room, ate a bunch of them and went to sleep. During the sleep period my HP nosedived and i woke up with 2 hp and died in about 10 seconds. I have no idea what happened. All my other stats were fine, I had no injuries and all the mushrooms were fresh and I made sure I didn't collect any poisonous mushrooms. My foraging skill was maxed as well.

Yes, it is possible to die from eating too many mushrooms. Some types of mushrooms in the game are poisonous and can cause poisoning, which can lead to the death of the character. It is recommended to study the different types of mushrooms in the game and make sure they are safe to consume before eating them. It is also recommended not to overeat and to monitor the amount of mushrooms you eat.

I had a sickness moodle but it was constantly on queasy because i was close to a lot of corpses but when i went to sleep in a clean room and it still didn't advance past queasy.


Doesn't foraging reveal if a mushroom is poisonous or not? My foraging was maxed and none of the shrooms i picked up had any indication that they were poisonous.

Nope. Herbalism does. Either you take the trait at start or you read the magazine to get it.

I had that too. When i was foraging i found poisonous mushrooms but i specifically didn't pick those up.
Does the game have secret "♥♥♥♥ you" mushrooms that are poisonous even though the game give zero indication that they are?

You said you were queasy before so the mushrooms prob don't have anything to do with it. Either an infection, bite or fever

Actually at one time i encountered some kind of strange mushrooms that beside reducing hunger also improved mood. When my char ate those he encountered a few odd things, like getting food poisoning like symptoms. I only ever found those types of mushrooms once, and read only one other person finding them too. (My game has a single mod so it is not vanila.)

In order to figure out why your character died we would need a terribly lot of things to know. (For instance i encountered many threads where the poster claimed no injuries yet it turned out they were scratched like 3-4 days ago, but it was healed already and the like.)
We would need a screenshot of your character's moodles and so on. Many players do not really know how important the moodles are on the side. Quezy and hot for instance means you likely will get fever, and that reduces your health REALLY FAST. (You can get that due to food poisoning, cold, being too long near dead bodies...and so on.)

Another possibility is you were zombified, allthough that would mean your character rose as a zombie. (I usually dont even bother to check if my char raises or not:P Died, new game:) )

The only way to actually tell why your character died, is to reload the game and follow every and each step you did. However that can only happen if you keep backups of playing sessions.(As a general rule i usually make a copy of my run every 2 ingame days, or when i finish the game session, and I KEEP THEM ALL in order too. Is the only way to figure out why your character died. Whether it was a bug or just normal behaviour.)
