Spore prints are a good idea.

I was without the print, I just don’t want to Id a shroom have some one eat it and die.

Identifying them is easier if you have a picture of them growing, before you pluck them.

How they grow, what they grow on is as important as what they look like in some cases.

It was growing on either an aspen or popular tree.

They love growing on Popple trees, normally right after a rain. But if you wait too long to pick them the bugs invade them.
