AITA for outing my brother's fiancée for misidentifying wild mushrooms at their engagement dinner

so my brother (34M) got engaged to Priya (31F) last month and she's been getting really into foraging herself since she started dating him, which honestly i loved at first bc its my whole thing. for the engagement dinner she made a dish with mushrooms she picked "from a spot online" and served it to like 15 people including our mom who's on blood thinners. i took one look at the plate before anyone ate and recognized two of them as a lookalike thats not dangerous exactly but can mess with certain meds, not what she said they were. i said something right there at the table, kind of loud, like "hey did you id these yourself" and it turned into a whole thing bc she got defensive and said i was trying to make her look stupid in front of everyone on her big night. my brother is furious, says i could've pulled her aside instead of embarrassing her at her own engagement dinner. she hasn't spoken to me since. i keep saying i did it bc mom takes warfarin and that's not a small risk, but the family group chat is split between "willow overreacted" and "willow probably saved someone from the ER." i don't regret speaking up but i do feel bad about how it went down.
