      Taste testing is a tool for mushroom identification, not in this case because it’s actually quite easy to identify A. Phalloides without tasting it, I did it out of curiosity.

      There is a species called russula that edibility is identified by tasting the raw mushroom to detect if they have some “pepperiness” (not edible when they have it).
