I think it looks delicious though.

Hypholoma fasciculare

The edible species is Hypholoma capnoides which looks quite similar.

Is it just the curve of the cap that makes them different? That is scary if it is.

I'm not sure if you are referring to the two images? If so, they are both pictures of the posionous Sulfur Tuft (maybe my post was confusing). The edible species has some slightly different coloring, but that's really not enough for me to be able to tell the difference with confidence.

It's easy to tell them apart. The one that kills you when you eat it is the bad one.

Just bring a friend along to help identify them
