That's fair. Few people dare to eat the edible Amanitas, although they're said to be quite tasty. If the deadly species didn't exist, they would probably be much more popular.

    It isn't that hard to correctly ID Amanita rubescens and I've eaten it quite a few times. But if I'm the only one responsible for identifying it I wouldn't dare to eat it. With boletes I'm much more lenient and don't even know the species all of the time :D

    Interesting because I find boletes very confusing and some are poisonous. But maybe this varies regionally.

    You're totally right! I forgot that this is very dependent on where you live. In the area where I usually collect boletes, there are zero poisonous ones and only some that are hard to digest or bad tasting.
