I eat white button mushrooms raw, after a quick rinse of the dirt. No problem, as long as I get them from the store, properly cultivated by the shroom experts.
The image posted looks sorta similar, but is not a white button mushroom.
Thanks Google, AI has no fucking business telling anyone about mushrooms.

This mushroom is almost certainly the reason why it’s drilled in so hard that you shouldn’t eat random mushrooms in the woods unless you are absolutely sure it’s safe.
Destroying Angel mushrooms look like puffball mushrooms when they’re initially fruiting, and then grow to look like button mushrooms before they reach full maturity. If you eat one of these you’ll get severe abdominal pain and vomit for around 24 hours and then show signs of recovery. However, by that point it’s almost certainly too late, and organ failure and death is soon to follow
From my friends who do foraging: you only eat stuff you 1000% know doesn’t have an imitator in the area, and even then you’re tossing out about 3/4 of what you forage just to be safe.
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.
Don’t take my word as gospel, but see how the stem in the picture looks all angry? The stems are smooth on white buttons. Also in destroying angels, the gills are white, as opposed to brown.

Buy your mushrooms from the store.
