Ah A. Ocreata is actually reported to have a poor taste.
Most of the deaths are from East Asian immigrants mistakenly assuming the mushrooms here are like the ones at home, and they mis-identify and then harvest & eat the Amanita spp. instead of what they thought they were harvesting (I actually don’t know the mushroom they mistake it for that is found in Asia). I’ve heard this factoid is pretty exaggerated, it’s not like East Asia doesn’t have both deadly and edible Amanitas
