Easy to check against another source. This is one of the easiest to ID mushrooms that people eat.

Yeah, but still. I don't want to normalize casually taking recommendations about eating wild mushrooms online.

I also don't know if I'd eat mushrooms growing in or around an urban environment. Fungi are known to pull all sorts of contaminants from their substrate into their fruit bodies. Then again, we're already filled with contaminants from our food and water, so it may only be a drop in the bucket. 🤷‍♂️
