      From my friends who do foraging: you only eat stuff you 1000% know doesn’t have an imitator in the area, and even then you’re tossing out about 3/4 of what you forage just to be safe.

      Buy your mushrooms from the store.

          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.

      Don’t take my word as gospel, but see how the stem in the picture looks all angry? The stems are smooth on white buttons. Also in destroying angels, the gills are white, as opposed to brown.

      Yes, you do not even need a doctor if you catch it soon enough, eat charcoal. After it is absorbed into your bloodstream you need a hospital. Although certain plants help protect the liver like milk thistle and teasel root extract which grow wild at least in North America here. But they have other stuff too.
