People who have accidentally eaten death cap mushrooms (amanita phalloides for the autists out there) say that it's fucking delicious (before their liver shuts down). Rabbits can eat them without problems. So if we use rabbit genes, we can crispr cas 9 our way to a good meal.

Not sure if the article is legit, but there is hope for an antidote: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/worlds-deadliest-mushroom-may-now-have-an-antidote/

I don't think we even need to do that, just extract the poison shit from the mushrooms and eat them poisonless?

Or determine what chemical (or combination of chemicals) is causing the delicious flavor, isolate them, and then add them to tofu or some shit.
