the risk/reward is just insane.

I find this take ridiculous, there are poisonous fruits and vegetables would you never eat an apple just because there are poisonous fruits out there?

I mean, I'm not going to pluck a random red berry of a bush and eat it.

But you would eat a blueberry right? And that's my point. No one eats a random mushroom from the ground but to say I will not eat any mushroom at all because there is too much risk it a crazy take.

I wouldn't trust a wild blueberry too much ngl.

I mean are there fruits that will kill me if I eat one that look like apples? And generally I wouldn’t eat any random fruit I found in the wild either unless I really had to.

Yes, there are, they are called Manchineel. But that's beside the point.

You can pick mushrooms your whole life and never be in any risk, you stick to the beginner friendly species and I would bet you need to be drunk and/or legally blind to make a mistake.
