I don't even get why people do this. They cost almost nothing from the supermarket.
Supermarket mushrooms are all basically different stages of the same kind. They're the white bread of mushrooms. If you're lucky, you'll find enokis or shiitakes. Stuff like lionsmane, oysters, hen of the woods, and wood ear are FANTASTIC and nothing like the supermarket kind - that's what people forage for. Basing all mushrooms on what's available at the supermarket is like basing all cheese on mild cheddar.
Not sure why anyone would eat a death cap though. That and amonitas are probably the most famous "this shit will kill you" mushrooms

It's mostly immigrants from asia confusing them for the Straw Paddy Mushroom, which is native to East Asia and pretty darn tasty.
Supermarket mushrooms are usually just Portobello. And most people who claim not to like mushrooms have only had those. Get you some morels, chicken of the woods, or chanterelles, they all taste different.
People should really look into growing the less common varieties at home. You can get supplies and spores or cultures from reputable companies so you don't have to worry about identifying them yourself. You can't grow all varieties easily at home, but you can grow more than you can buy at the store.
The best mushrooms are not found in supermarkets.
