Lots of differences but the simplest one would be that button mushrooms would typically have color to their gills—depending on the species they usually start out pinkish or pale brown and move to dark brown as they get older. Destroying angel has pure white gills.

But button mushrooms are actually not very beginner friendly despite their familiarity since there are other poisonous lookalikes in many areas.

"Destroying Angel" is an incredibly metal name for a mushroom lmao.
