Mushrooms are literally one for the categories of things that are "DO NOT EAT UNLESS YOU'RE 100% CONFIDENT AND KNOW THROUGH YOUR OWN KNOWLEDGE" types. (Caps used because it is a yelling thing)

Seriously, just don't eat any mushroom that you can't personally identify with 100% confidence from your own knowledge and references, with some app saving its xyz not being considered a reference.

Even experienced mycologists have sometimes made mistaken identifications so anyone else should be so cautious as to presume poison in all cases except the most certain.

(Obviously store bought are an exception)
