after i handle deadly or potentially deadly mushrooms i make sure to wash my hands liberally with a good soap before i eat or put my fingers into my mouth, but that's about it and that is often considered to be unneccesarily cautious. i recommend it on general principle.

It's not that dangerous, unless someone decided to slap you on the back or some stupid shit, and you swallowed it accidently. That'd be pretty fucked up.

To be honest even if you did swallow a bit that size i doubt it would do you huge damage, if we are talking about tiny pieces for taste testing. I wouldn't want to try it though

I regularly chew unidentified fungi, it isn't dangerous at all if you spit it out. I have never tried a death cap, although i have chewed what i believe to be Galerina marginata without any negative effects at all.

Well, cooking a deathly mushroom for tasting it, sounds like the person thinks it'll kill the poisons, or why would you cook it at all?

There has been at least one known case of poisoning where a guy was tasting the peppery Russulas and spitting it out but must have tasted too many of them. The poisoning wasn't dangerous, but neither were the mushrooms tasted.
