Caesar's Mushroom (Amanita cesarea [1]) can also be eaten raw, if you're making a list.

Note that it's not present in US/Canada which do have the common (and commonly considered poisonous) fly agaric (Amanita muscaria [2]), which can appear a lookalike to the untrained eye.

As advised in other replies, your local mycological society is likely to organize course on identification, foraging field trips, run id clinics, etc. so a good initial step for folks wanting to know more would be to look for local expertise.
