    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.
