    But before they kill you, would they taste good with pasta?

      The ones in the comic don’t look like death caps, but those are responsible for 90% of mushroom-related poisonings, so we’ll assume artistic license.

      Death caps probably would go well with pasta. Here is an article from The Atlantic with someone who has tasted one.

      Britt Bunyard, the founder, publisher, and editor in chief of the mycology journal Fungi, has tasted a death cap. “Very pleasant and mushroomy,” he told me. “A nice flavor, and then you spit it out.”

      “There’s nothing in the taste that tells you what you are eating is about to kill you.”

        How much of it is needed to kill someone?

      Based on this guy’s experience, no.

      https://blog.mycology.cornell.edu/2006/11/22/i-survived-the-destroying-angel/

      I survived the “Destroying Angel”

      I took three home with me. I couldn’t find my Mushroom book, was in a hurry, so I trusted my judgment, fried them up in olive oil, and ate them as a side dish. I should have recognized then that they weren’t inky caps, because inky caps exude a black substance when you fry them.

      They honestly did not taste that good, rather bland in my opinion. I thought to myself, “Gee, I don’t think I’ll ever pick and eat these again.” (Little did I know the truth of my thought at the time).

        I’m glad that it tries to warn you with its terrible taste

      The left ginger woman is actually part of the club. You can see the robes in the rubbish bin behind her and she has a ring on in the top picture.
