Question

How to find out if a mushroom is poisonous or non poisonous?

Answer 1

Some good rules apply for avoiding poisonous mushrooms if you are a novice(inexperinced with mushroom)

1. Avoid mushrooms with white gills, askirt or ring on the stem and a bulbous or sack like base called a volva. You may be missing out on some good edible fungi but it means you will be avoiding the deadly members of the Amanita family.
   
2. Avoid mushrooms with red on the cap or stem. Again you will be missing out on some good mushrooms but more importantly you won't be picking poisonous ones.
   
3. Finally don't consume any mushroomsunless you are 100% sure of what they are. I know I have already mentioned this but it is by far the most important rule.
