If you carefully learn what you are doing, there are many very delicious amanitas. I am particularly fond of amanita calyptoderma (cocorra) though I more frequently eat amanita vaginata (grissettes). the vaginata complex is fairly easy to id, though a. calyptoderma, a. Velosa and others that can be mistaken for the deadly amanitas you obviously should be much more careful about. I guess my advice would be learn what you are doing first, and learn to id all poisonous mushrooms in your area as well.
who tf found that shit and thought to themselves “I wonder what that fungus tumor tastes like?”
It’s just a mushroom. A fungal fruiting body.
yummy

You shouldn’t eat amanitas and you definitely shouldn’t eat Destroying Angel, the most metal of all fungi.
