Yeah there are very few mushrooms with the ability to kill a healthy individual, pretty much only amanita phalloides and virosa with any certainty and some of the Galerina species, but those are pretty rare in the UK. Plenty that'll do some serious damage but won't kill you and absolutely loads that'll cause some gastric distress/other mild symptoms.
Interesting that the woodland trust lists those 7 as pantherina's aren't toxic but instead are a highly potent psychoactive species. Again, it's this kind of thing which further confuses the situation as there are plenty of psychoactive species are listed as poisonous thanks to old school ways of perceiving things/assuming that having your world distorted is a case of poisoning.
