Blacka Blogger makes no claim to be a fungi expert. Far from it. Not even a particularly well-informed amateur. But the picture on the new poster is definitely NOT a waxcap. It is in fact a Fly Agaric. And to let people even guess that it is could lead to problems.
Waxcaps belong to the Hygrocybe family many of which are edible, whereas the Fly Agaric belongs to the Amanita family, definitely not recommended for eating, and containing several deadly poisonous species.
Anyway the advice must be never to eat anything unless the identification is a hundred per cent sure.
