There are many that are poisonous and many of them look almost identical to the non-poisonous ones. Do not under any circumstances eat any wild mushrooms unless you consult an expert. Making a mistake could be fatal.
Some of the more famous (and most deadly) poisonous mushrooms include the destroying angel (three types of Amanita), the death cap (Amanita phalloides), and the lethal webcaps (two species of Cortinarius).
It is important to positively identify the mushroom species before consuming it. If you are not sure, it is best to avoid eating it as many poisonous mushrooms can resemble edible ones. If in doubt, consult an expert mycologist or avoid eating the mushroom altogether.
A mushroom is safe to eat if you find it in one of two places- at a supermarket or a local growers' market. Unless you happen to be some trained expert, don't eat mushrooms you find out on the wild. Way too many people think they know what they're doing, maybe because they cook a lot or read some picture book of mushrooms, pick up a mushroom that they think is species type "v. deliceous" but, whoops, it was really the closely related cousin, the Death Cap mushroom. Sucks, now you're going to need a new liver!
There is no simple way of telling. If you are not sure, don't eat it.
