I'll have to take your word for trivially telling them apart. To my untrained eye, I wouldn't be able to tell the dangerous species of my region apart from the safe ones. But looking at the math, the most fatal species belong to Amanita [0]. Amanita contains about 600 varieties (wiki lists 500ish). Of those 500, for my region only, I would need to learn how to identify about 30 varieties. A reasonably feasible amount! But wait... we can trim that number down some more. Ignoring the ones where edibility is unknown, that leaves only 10 or so to identify. Anyone who cared enough could likely easily learn to tell them apart. But with 5 being known as deadly and 1 of those being the angel of death [1], I won't be taking any chances. :) [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Amanita_species [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_ocreata |

It's also totally fine to not do anything, I just wanted to point out that your position was extremely conservative on the matter.
