Facepalm.

LA PINE, Ore. (AP) — A sheriff's officer says four central Oregon residents were rushed to a hospital after they used a phone app to identify wild mushrooms but ended up consuming mushrooms that were poisonous.

A local television station reports that Deschutes County sheriff's Sgt. Doug Sullivan says deputies and medics responded Thursday afternoon to a report of poisoning on private property south of Sunriver.

He says two boys, ages 4 and 14, and a 34-year-old woman were showing symptoms of mushroom poisoning. A 15-year-old boy who also ate the mushrooms wasn't showing symptoms but was taken to the hospital as a precaution.

Sullivan said members of several families living on the property ate the poisonous mushrooms after misidentifying them as edible with a phone app.

Had a similar story here in Virginia a few years ago.

A Chinese immigrant was headed out to work one morning, when he spotted a mushroom that looked just like one they have in China.

In his homeland, if you find one of these kinds of mushrooms in your yard, it's supposed to be good luck to eat it.

You can probably guess the rest of the story.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
