Could I rephrase that? I don't think you have to know 100% exactly what it is. I think you have to know 100% that it isn't going to kill you. There are numerous Russulas (and boletes) I could eat perfectly safely without being 100% certain what it is. What matters is that I am 100% certain what it
isn't. If it's a Russula and it isn't red, then it's not going to do me much harm.
