Looking at your photo…
How do we decide?
- This is it The top match is at least 85% and 30 points ahead of the next.
- One of these two The top two together dominate; another angle is needed to separate them.
- Looks like this family The species is unclear but the family is solid.
Why we never say "edible"
Some deadly mushrooms look almost identical to edible ones; the telling volva can hide in the soil, and smell or spore print never show in a photo. A photo can name a species, but it can never clear it for the table. Always show wild finds to an expert.
