If the mushrooms have become moist for any length of time they can and often do harbor bacteria that will make you sick. You are far less likely to be sick if your mushrooms were well taken care of. Otherwise, the chemical itself (contrary to mescaline) is not likely in itself to cause stomach upset. Mescaline, even when taken in pure form will upset most user's stomach and can not be helped. It is said that the chitin in the cells is sharp or coarse enough to abrade the walls of the stomach or intestines but this is open for debate. A tea should alleviate most stomach problems - if, again, the mushroom was kept dry in storage.
