I can't remember if boiling them makes you lose some potency or not but it's worth it to lose some strength in order to not get sick.

In nature they do, but I bet most of the mushrooms on the market were grown in bulk (with wild bird seed or popcorn and coco coir/peat moss), and probably don't have manure and bacteria all over it.
If it's crispy dried, you're fine.
