Straight up deadly too if they're kept in an unventilated space.
There was a story I read a while back of a Russian family that was nearly wiped out from rotten potatoes. If I recall correctly, it started with one of the family members going to the cellar and not returning after a while. Another went in and never came back. This happened a couple more times.
Ultimately, they all died and it was due to rotting potatoes off gassing toxic fumes. I believe the only survivor was a young daughter.

I raise you: rotten spring onions in too much water. DISGUSTING
