I have a little mushroom field guide with illustrations. There's a disclaimer in the book that says basically, don't trust any mushrooms you haven't bought at the grocery store.

There are some very attractive reds ones growing where I live, and a couple of the most poisonous are red. Red happens to be chickens' favorite color. I'm playing it safe and confining my chickens until things dry out.
 
How can you identify them? I'm now very worried, as after the flooding from Harvey we have mushrooms springing up.

I was talking to a neighbor about what happened and mentioned the mushrooms. He took a look at them and told me what they are. I then Google pics to make sure. The one we have is known as the white death cap or destroying angel.
