One thing I think that's important to know is that the poison in these mushrooms generally destroys the liver. Those that survive tend to end up needing transplants later on, if not sooner.
There are some mushrooms that are easier to identify, but I wouldn't take a chance when the risks are that high.
In other words: get the best book or best guide you can find.
