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.
