Jack-o-lanterns aren’t deadly, they’ll just send you to thee toilet with a lot of regret.

generally yes, but children, elderly, immune-compromised, etc. are more susceptible and the toxins in that mushroom could theoretically result in a person’s death even if in most cases it usually it just results in vomiting, diarrhea, etc.
still, it’s a good call out that it’s not as dangerous as something like Angel of Death.
