Wild edible mushrooms are delicious delicacies given by nature to human beings, which are rich in nutrients, delicious in flavor and tender in flesh, and have been regarded as edible delicacies since ancient times. Modern research has proved that edible mushrooms contain high protein, low fat, multi-nutrients, which are very helpful for maintaining human health and improving human immunity, but it is difficult to recognize toxic and non-toxic wild mushrooms, and there are more than 100 kinds of poisonous wild mushrooms, among which there are nearly 10 kinds of poisonous mushrooms with high toxicity. The appearance of these poisonous mushrooms is similar to that of non-poisonous mushrooms, so it is very easy to recognize them in the wild. Some poisonous mushrooms are less toxic, but they can still be seriously poisoned if they are eaten too much.
The main symptoms of poisoning are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms, which can lead to convulsions, spasms, coma, and even hallucinations, hemolytic symptoms and liver damage and other serious symptoms, with a high mortality rate. So, how can we identify poisonous mushrooms correctly? The following identification methods are available for your reference.
1. Comparison method: With the help of colorful mushroom atlas suitable for local use, identifying local edible or poisonous mushrooms one by one is a good method.
2. Look at the shape: Poisonous mushrooms are usually slimy and slippery, and their caps are often covered with debris or have patchy growths. There are often rings on the stems (like wearing a miniskirt). Non-poisonous mushrooms rarely have rings.
3. Color: Poisonous mushrooms are mostly golden, pink, white, black and green. Non-poisonous mushrooms are mostly coffee, light purple or gray-red.
4. Smell: Poisonous mushrooms have potato or radish flavor. Non-poisonous mushrooms have a bitter apricot or fruit flavor.
5. Look at the secretion: when the fresh wild mushrooms are torn off the stem, the secretion of non-toxic mushrooms is as clear as water, individually white, and the surface of the mushrooms will not be discolored when torn off; the secretion of poisonous mushrooms is thick and thick and reddish-brown in color, and it will be easy to be discolored in the air after being torn off.
If you are not sure that the mushrooms are non-toxic, don't eat them. If you accidentally eat poisonous mushrooms, you should take effective measures such as inducing vomiting, gastric lavage, diarrhea and other treatments and send them to the hospital in time.
