Yes, there are poisonous mushrooms that are eerily similar to mushrooms that contain psilocybin. [1] Depending on its stage of growth, they can be easily confused, especially by a newcomer.
There is one main rule to foraging. "Never eat a mushroom you can't positively identify." If any trait of it's appearance is questionable, don't eat it.

- heavyset_go 5y agoThis is inaccurate or out of date or both. Some species of Psilocybe look just like Galerina and sometimes grow right next to them.
