with the exception of the child I mentioned, ALL of the adults poisoned which I personally encountered thought they knew what they were eating. Clearly, from an intensive care perspective, they didn't. Urging caution from my perspective is not "stigmatizing" mushrooms. Common sense of all kinds is not as common as one would hope. That too from an ICU nurse of 31 years' perspective. Keeps us in business unfortunately.
Enjoy your wild mushroom foraging carefully.
