i wouldn’t really count body mass as resistence, by that measure every single mammal bar perhaps the field mouse is resistant to basically every toxin.

You’d have to eat a lot of pure cap to kill you. Oral LD50 in mice is 47.2 mg/kg (source). For an 80 kg person, that’s 3760 mg of pure cap. Even a single mg of pure cap dropped into a pot of chili would be inedibly hot even to the most hardcore spicy food fan.
