How to distinguish poisonous mushrooms

1. Differentiate by growing zone

Whether mushrooms are poisonous or not can be distinguished from the area where they grow. Most edible mushrooms grow on relatively clean grass, and sometimes grow on pine or oak trees. Most poisonous mushrooms grow in dark or humid places, and the environment where they exist is also relatively poor.

2. Differentiate mushrooms by their color

Usually, you can tell whether a mushroom is poisonous by its color, because most poisonous mushrooms are brightly colored, such as red, green, and purple. Especially those mushrooms that were originally purple and changed color after picking are extremely poisonous. Mushrooms that are edible by people are darker in color and will not cause a visual impact on people.

3. Differentiate by mushroom secretions

You can also tell whether a mushroom is poisonous or not from its secretions. Non-toxic mushrooms will produce clear secretions on their stems after being harvested, and the surface of the mushroom will not change color after being broken. The secretions produced by poisonous mushrooms are mostly reddish brown and relatively sticky, and they will easily change color after being broken in the air.
