Ourside of puffballs and morels I don't know enough about them to pick any, I do know some poison toad stools can look just like some mushrooms...you got to be smart enough to know the difference or your dead...I'm not smart enough. I think mushroom hunting is something of an art...

There's a mushroom in Southeast Asia that looks exactly like one in North America. The only difference is that the ones in Asia are good eating and the ones in North America are deadly poisonous. Shortly after refugees from Southeast Asia arrived, there were a number of deaths from making the mistake of eating the North American version.

Giant puffballs are never poisonous. They can't be mistaken for anything else. However, Amanita muscara mushroom resemble small puffballs when they are first growing and are just as poisonous when they're small as when they're large. There is only one other mushroom that looks a little like a morel, but it's so disgusting that you'd never eat it.
