Basically, check the details against known examples.

Things to check:

  • shape (both inside and out)
  • color (both inside and out)
  • gills
  • spore pattern
  • what it was growing on
  • what season you found it
  • what location you found it

Ideally, you'll be with someone that knows the mushrooms in the area and can offer more guidance. And again, if you aren't 100% sure of the fungus, toss it rather than take a chance.
