How to tell if mushrooms are poisonous

We cannot deny that mushrooms, a kind of fungus, have high nutritional value, so we like to buy some mushrooms in the market and eat them at home. However, some people who like to eat wild mushrooms will buy some wild mushrooms. The nutritional value of wild mushrooms is much higher than that of cultivated mushrooms, and the taste is also more delicious, but there is one thing that bothers everyone, that is, are these mushrooms poisonous? How can we identify them and avoid eating poisonous mushrooms by mistake?

How to tell if mushrooms are poisonous

1. There is no perfect scientific evidence to clearly distinguish poisonous mushrooms from non-toxic mushrooms. We mostly rely on our own experience to distinguish poisonous and non-toxic mushrooms. The saying "Colored mushrooms are mostly poisonous" is quite true. Generally speaking, colorful or brightly colored mushrooms are often toxic, so you must be cautious when choosing them and try to avoid eating such mushrooms to avoid accidental injury to your body.

2. The surface of poisonous mushrooms is generally not smooth, because it is covered with some tiny fungi. Although the size of wild mushrooms varies a lot, in general, poisonous mushrooms are larger and thicker in texture. So when you encounter such wild mushrooms, don't think that their flesh is thick and suitable for consumption. Instead, you should be very careful. Maybe the mushrooms that look delicious are poisonous and will harm our health.

3. The places where poisonous mushrooms grow are also different from those of ordinary mushrooms. From daily life experience, poisonous mushrooms generally grow in mixed woods, decaying things or manure and other dirty places, so be careful to prevent poisoning caused by eating these mushrooms. After talking about so many ways to identify mushrooms, the editor still wants to warn everyone that eating wild mushrooms is risky. Today, we are no longer fully prepared, so we must be careful before eating, and don't be greedy and do bad things.
