      Basically, check the details against known examples.

      Things to check:

      • shape (both inside and out)
      • color (both inside and out)
      • gills
      • spore pattern
      • what it was growing on
      • what season you found it
      • what location you found it

      Ideally, you’ll be with someone that knows the mushrooms in the area and can offer more guidance. And again, if you aren’t 100% sure of the fungus, toss it rather than take a chance.
