Not so much Amanita phalloides as Amanita pantherina, that one looks much more similar. But I agree, if you know what you're doing and don't pick mushrooms with which you don't have experience with and aren't sure about, you're good.
I used to pick up even Amanita rubescens, an acual (although edible and tasty) Amanita, so even more similar to poisonous ones. But I didn't have an opportunity for quite a few years and now I wouldn't dare, until I got an opportunity to verify with someone experienced and trustworthy.
what's the picker's rule?
lick it, wait 15 mins, take a nibble, wait 15 mins, then eat it
or just give it to your friend and see what happens
Know exactly what it is. Follow the identifying steps in a book about mushrooms in your area until you have learnt which mushrooms live in your locale and can pick them by sight
