I never heard of any mushroom like the one pictured in the meme, looking so similar and even growing on the same soil/medium.
It’s actually more like this:
I’ve occasionally seen some false chanterelles (Hygrophoropsis sp.) do a pretty good chanterelle impression but they’re not toxic, just bland and not well-tolerated.
The fiber cap stains red as it can be seen in the picture you posted, the St George doesn’t.
What I meant was that I don’t know any edible mushroom that looks exactly the same as a toxic one and doesn’t have a major characteristic that differentiates it immediately like the smell in the xanthodermus or the staining in the amanita ponderosa.

The bottom one is not toxic, just tastes bad.
I’ve heard some people use them as cocktail bitters.
