I dont believe anyone has, but its possible that the more orange species 
can be confused with Amanita pantherina, the panther cap.

Of course two other Amanitas are deadly. Amanita Virosa and Amanita 
Phalloides - the 'destroying angel' and the death cap. Probably used to 
kill many a mediaeval lord who beat up on his wife...you get sick, then 
you get better, then all your organs fail and you die.



Other amanitas are 'edible and good'...

"Edible species of Amanita include Amanita fulva, Amanita vaginata 
(grisette), Amanita calyptrata (coccoli), Amanita crocea, Amanita 
rubescens (blusher), Amanita caesarea (Caesar's mushroom), and Amanita 
jacksonii (American Caesar's mushroom)."

That's why you give it to someone else and drink their urine!

Body breaks down the nasty shit but passes the muscimol   straight through.

That's more or less bollocks.

Future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early 
twenty-first century’s developed world went into hysterical panic over a 
globally average temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and, 
on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer 
projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to 
contemplate a rollback of the industrial age.
