Hallo all, indeed it is necessary to know more details when determining the id a fungi. Apart from what Kiran ji says, it is necessary to know if the flesh changes the color, when pressed, which trees are growing in the surrounding, whether the stem has a ring, is it movable, gills running down the stem etc.etc. Perhaps you will find this list helpful when taking fotos. http://www.zimbio.com/Wild+Mushrooms/articles/2/Identifying+Wild+Mushrooms+Characteristics
