"Bronchoalveolar allergic syndrome may follow the inhalation of spores of puffball mushroom species. This syndrome begins with a nasopharyngitis, which is followed by worsening respiratory symptoms, including dyspnea, cough, fever, and malaise, which may progress to respiratory failure."
If you get sick, let the doc know about the mushroom incident. S/he will never include it as a possible cause of symptoms if you do not do so. Talk about the hoof beats on the bridge belonging to zebras, not horses!
