Suggeation: If not absolutely, clearly, 100% sure that a mushroom is safe to eat, then do not eat it. Some mushrooms can kill you. Not an authoritative or definitive guide. Avoid parasol-shaped, that look like wide-open umbrellas with white rings around the stem and white, milky gills. Brightly colored and spotted parasols, may be Amanitas, full of one of nature's deadliest poisons. Avoid cream-colored caps
