What exactly does eating a can of mushroom do? What are its guaranteed effects and what are its chance effects?
Also, if you pickaxe a giant mushroom corpse, does this create mushroom flesh with the same effect as a can? (Or does it have to be magic mushroom, or does neither work?)

A can of mushroom is the same as a can of banana flesh -- it's contents are giant mushroom flesh, the same as you'd eat if you found a corpse.

Assuming it isn't the same as those magic mushrooms
Then it makes you "Dizzy" which is the status that being high, drunk, or having your head smashed in is lumped with
The status makes you occasionally go a different dirrection then you plan to... with the message "You can't seem to walk straight" (or something to the same effect)

Don't listen to Neonivek, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Damn straight. By the way you might want to start training your Spot skill, it's way too low. You just missed two jokes.

I am a mycophage (look it up). The giant mushrooms are safe to eat in that they will not cause you to polymorph unlike the magic mushrooms. I did get perma confused once by eating to many giant shrooms.

Haha, perma confused.
Yeah, the polymorph is the most dangerous part of magic mushrooms. They'll also cause teleportitis, which is a minor nuisance without control. I forget though -- do magic shrooms grant the control stati?
