There are several ways to check whether a CD is silver-pressed or CD-R:
1) The most common and obvious way is to look at the bottom -- if it's any color other than silver (and occasionally gold for some special commercial releases), then it's definitely CD-R. But there are some CD-Rs that are silver-ish, so this alone isn't enough to say definitively that it's a silver-pressed CD.
2) Check for a matrix code printed onto the silver side of the CD around the center ring. Silvers will have this, while CD-Rs will have the matrix code printed on the inner-most ring (often made of plastic):
Here's a bit more reading on the difference between the two, although is mostly discussing official CD-R releases, rather than bootlegs:

This Y Kant Tori Read bootleg was made by Dragon Records, and is most easily identifiable by the purple text and incorrect name on the disc. The poor quality artwork, Dragon label, missing catalog number, and bonus tracks are clues that it is not official. The back of the insert also contains the satirical "instructions" for caring for CDs that is common on many YKTR bootlegs.

A "silver CD" refers to how the data is transferred to the disc. If the bottom is blue/gold/green/etc (except in some special cases where a commercial release will be a gold CD) it's usually a CD-R, and anyone could make it. There are CD-Rs available with images printed on the artwork side of the disc using special printers, so that alone is not enough to discern whether or not it is a silver CD.There are several ways to check whether a CD is silver-pressed or CD-R:
