A concave mirror is dished in ward. A convex mirror domed. Both images will be distorted in size from actuality. A convex mirror will give a wider view of what you are looking at in the mirror. A concave mirror will compress and magnify the image being viewed.
Plane Mirror - are standard, flat mirrors, produce images of the same size and distance as the objects they reflect Concave Mirror - Used to focus light, they reflect it inward toward one focal point. Concave mirrors show different types of images, depending on the distance between the mirror and the object reflected. Concave mirrors are used quite frequently in day-to-day life

concave (bulges inward) convex (bulges outward)
there are three kinds of mirror 1) concave 2) convex 3) plane
there are three main types of mirror- 1-flat=normal mirror 2-convex=outward 'bulge' type commonly used in shops for security-gives wide field of view.also on some motor vehicles, usually door mirrors. 3-concave=as the name suggests in facing 'bulge' (as in cave-makes it easy to remember this way)used to concentrate the light to a focal point-used in some telescopes. concave,convex or combinations of both are used in 'fun house' exhibits to radically distort images of the viewer.

Real and virtual.
A concave mirror can show both vitual and real images, a plane mirror can show virtual and so can a convex mirror. 0.0

concave and convex mirror
A concave mirror, or converging mirror, has a reflecting surface that bulges inward (away from the incident light). Concave mirrors reflect light inward to one focal point.They are used to focus light. Unlike convex mirrors, concave mirrors show different image types depending on the distance between the object and the mirror.These mirrors are called "converging" because they tend to collect light that falls on them, refocusing parallel incoming rays toward a focus. This is because the light is reflected at different angles, since the normal to the surface differs with each spot on the mirror.

Real images
Different mirrors form different types of images. A convex mirror forms smaller, upright, and virtual images. They are also located behind the mirror.
