You can also get an app where you take a picture of it and it will identify it for you. If it's not 100% sure it'll show you multiple pictures of multiple possibilities. Luckily, it's not like playing Russian roulette - there are a few absolutely unmistakable varieties of muchrooms that are safe to eat.
If you're unsure, don't eat it.
If it's a survival situation and you might NEED to eat it, take a bite and then wait a few hours and see if you have any negative side effects.
I was skeptical of using that type of app but since you recommended it I'll try it one day. Thx
