Edible Mushrooms and Their Poisonous Look-alikes
Most mushroom poisonings start with a mistaken identity: a false morel taken for a morel, a funeral bell for honey fungus, a young destroying angel for a puffball. Each page here explains the features that separate a sought-after mushroom from its dangerous double. None of them tells you a wild mushroom is safe to eat; that takes an expert looking at the actual specimen.
