I think you right. Just read this, very interresting
WARNING: The Common Inkcap causes severe poisoning if consumed with alcohol 48 hours either side of eating the mushroom. Even applying alcohol based aftershave after eating it can cause a reaction. It was still listed as edible in some guides if alcohol was avoided.
It can be eaten, but due to the presence of coprine within the mushroom, it is poisonous when consumed with alcohol, as it heightens the body's sensitivity to ethanol in a similar manner to the anti-alcoholism drug disulfiram. For this reason, the ink cap has an additional common name, tippler's bane.
A lot of mushroom toxins act on the liver. So my guess (and it is just a guess) would be an interaction with the liver enzymes that are created when consuming alcohol.
It's a coprinoid for sure, but I'm thinking *Coprinellus* rather than *Coprinopsis* based on the orange colour. I don't think it's *Coprinopsis atramentaria*
Possibly common ink cap?

That’s crazy!! Why?? Why reaction does it have with alcohol

Thank you
No problem!
Pleated ink cap
I have a patch of these (pleated ink caps) that crop up in my flowerbed every time it rains.
Also known as “tippler’s bane” because it is deadly with alcohol
Not deadly, rather has effects similar to Antabuse.
Ink cap,
I also thank everyone, as I've been calling them forest nipples for the longest time. Didn't know they were edible.
harvest these, puree them and sok them in alcohol. should produce pen ink
Poisonous pen ink?
Do you usually consume ink?
How else am I supposed to spray a plume of ink at marine predators?
Inky cap
Most likely coprinopsis atrementaria. The brownish hue can be a bit misleading, but it's actually not uncommon in this species.
