That was dumb as shit. You're lucky you didn't end up dead. Fly agaric has some seriously poisonous relatives that look very similar to it. Some that look near identical, just a little off-color.

Anyway, if you're mushroom picking, picking psilocybe's in cow dung is usually the safest, though still not fool-proof. Liberty caps are often a safe bet. Remember to wash them off well. They did grow on cow poop.
