Проконсул
Да, как написал выше Vir, оба грибочков будто бы поели и преставились:
Then there was the case of the Holy Homan Emperor Charles VI, father of Maria Theresa of Austria. He had been worried and run down. "‘On the [10th of October 1740] at night his complaint was increased by an indigestion, occasioned by a dish of mushrooms stewed in oil, of which he ate voraciously." So wrote Archdeacon William Coxe in his History of the House of Austria. Ten days later, on October 20, while the doctors were still arguing about the diagnosis, he surprised them by dying. The clinical details that Coxe supplies to us, including the patient's sudden death, are compatible with poisoning by the deadly amanita: we have only to assume that the physicians out of a sense of decorum played down the unpleasant details of his last illness. There were no allegations that the poisoning, if such it was, was deliberate. If fungi were the agent, he is the one important personage in modern times thus killed. His end precipitated war and it is on record that Voltaire declared "a pot of mushrooms changed the history of Europe"
(R. Gordon Wasson. The death of Claudius or mushrooms for murderers)
(Вот, опять я слишком долго редактировал ответ, но чего ему пропадать?
