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).
