Good and Bad News for mushroom pickers

I know there are edible amanitas out there, but the fear of mistaking a death cap or some other poisonous 'shroom with an edible is too much.  That's why I don't mess with amanitas.  The risks far outweigh the potential rewards.  I stick with the ones that I'm confident in identifying: morels, oysters, chanterelles, shaggies, etc.  Even some of the boletes can be tricky.

That's cool the scientists in the article found an antidote for death caps, but that sure as hell doesn't mean I'll be searching out edible amanitas in the forest anytime soon.  Not worth it!
