There is a book called "A Field Guide to Mushrooms: North America (Paperback)" This may be useful to you if you live in North America. If not, you may want to look for a similar book as these books are meant for identifying mushrooms. Good Luck!
There are lots of resources both in libraries and online that can help you identify mushrooms. These usually look at the visual differences of the mushrooms such as color, shape, type of spore cap, and the color of the spores to use as indicators for what kind of mushroom it is. Quite a few mycology organizations also exist who like to go out and identify mushrooms.
Just remember that identifying mushrooms can be tricky and that there exist still many types that have yet to be documented. You SHOULD NEVER try to eat wild mushrooms that you have identified as edible on your own. Indeed, many professional mycologists will refrain from eating wild mushrooms due to the risks involved.
