I understand that much of naming a mushroom is recognition of where they

a nice one can look so much like a super toxic version.

Not any of the ones we eat. I'm cautious and experienced, we don't go
near anything that can be confused with something really nasty.

Picked what looks a lot like Suillus Luteus, except it's not growing near a
Scots pine, but birch instead, so it's probably a Leccinum of some kind, but
not one with a long slim stalk. Mone of those seem to listed as poisonous,
so I might risk it.
