Smarter move: Never forage for mushrooms, no matter how reliable your guide supposedly is.

Back when I was in HS, our senior AP Biology teacher - who'd been foraging for mushrooms for 2+ decades, no problems - accidentally poisoned herself. (It couldn't have been destroying angel - she did survive.) Uber-Obvious Lesson for my stupid little teen male brain: If someone that expert and experienced with mushrooms could still suffer a near-fatal oopsie, then I for-sure nevernevereverever wanted to risk my neck by trying it.
