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.

The image posted looks sorta similar, but is not a white button mushroom.

This mushroom is almost certainly the reason why it’s drilled in so hard that you shouldn’t eat random mushrooms in the woods unless you are absolutely sure it’s safe.

Destroying Angel mushrooms look like puffball mushrooms when they’re initially fruiting, and then grow to look like button mushrooms before they reach full maturity. If you eat one of these you’ll get severe abdominal pain and vomit for around 24 hours and then show signs of recovery. However, by that point it’s almost certainly too late, and organ failure and death is soon to follow

The chicken itself is probably fine. It would taste like any sauced chicken you get at an American Chinese restaurant.

That rice was heinous though.
