Gyromitra esculenta is known as "false morel" and can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloody diarrhea, convulsions, and death within two days. It contains the toxin gyromitrin, which can cause liver and kidney damage. Amanita phalloides, also known as the death cap, can cause liver failure and death within days but does not typically cause bloody diarrhea or convulsions. Aspergillus, Mucor, and Sporothrix schenckii are not typically associated with food poisoning or gastrointestinal symptoms.
