How to identify whether wild mushrooms are poisonous

"Colored mushrooms are poisonous" I believe most people have heard this argument. But in fact, various studies have found that this point alone, or such a general point, cannot distinguish whether wild mushrooms are poisonous or not. The consequences of this ambiguity may be too heavy for us to bear. Therefore, I think it is necessary to tell you scientifically and systematically about this issue. Learn how to identify wild edible mushrooms and wild poisonous mushrooms, which will add a layer of protection to our life safety.

How to identify whether wild mushrooms are poisonous

1. There is an absolutely effective method of identification. So far, no one dares to be 100% sure, but it is generally believed that if the mushroom cap is brightly colored, or has a clay color, and the texture is relatively crisp, it is very likely to be a poisonous mushroom. This method is more in line with the argument that we often hear that mushroom picking is poisonous, but it is more specific.

2. If there are many other small fungi attached to the mushroom, it is very likely to be a poisonous mushroom. Although the size of wild mushrooms varies greatly, in general, if the cap of a wild mushroom is very large and thick, it is very likely to be poisonous. So when you encounter such wild mushrooms, don’t think that its flesh is thick and suitable for consumption, but be very careful, because it may be a poisonous mushroom that can harm your body!

3. The toxicity of mushrooms can also be easily determined from where they grow. From the summary of various research data, mushrooms that grow in dirty places such as mixed woods, decaying things or manure are generally more toxic and unsuitable for human consumption, so be careful not to eat them by mistake. Having said that, the editor still wants to warn everyone that eating wild mushrooms is risky. If you can avoid eating them, try not to try them. The price will be very high.
