It's amazing how little the average person knows about fungi. Anonymous, you have a lot to learn, but you've taken the first step. Get a good field guide and start IDing some in the wild. If you find some that you think are edible, take them home and do a positive identification before eating them. Consult with various websites, like this

Do not eat anything you are not certain of. Ever. Do not eat anything that resembles a poisonous mushroom until you have more experience.
