I wonder why the article does not even mention it, and I am worried that it is a case of "not invented here". Silibinin is here for at least 30 years. I was shocked when I read the story of one who was poisoned by eating the destroying angel (same poison) unwittingly. That story basically said, that at the end of the aughts, his doctors in Great Britain did not know about silibinin.

I feel like this is a solution that even someone who objects to CRISPR/gene-editing would approve of. Genetic editing of petri dish cells, helps discover previously unknown pathways, which lead to a search for pre-existing molecules that we'd already discovered a long time ago.

The solution to people dying from mushrooms is to... not eat them. If people cannot understand that, and we manage to save them, what's to keep them from walking in front of a bus the next day. I mean you can only overcome ignorance only so many times before Darwin eventually wins the game.
I don't want to blame the victim here, but it's not like the mushrooms stalk us and enter our mouths at night while we are sleeping.
