Mushrooms are rich in nutrition and delicious, and are deeply loved by people, but many mushrooms are poisonous, so it is very important to master the relevant knowledge of mushrooms. Be careful when picking mushrooms. There are more than 300 kinds of edible mushrooms found in China, and there are more than 100 kinds of poisonous mushrooms, among which 10 is highly toxic. Wild mushroom poisoning has obvious seasonality, which mostly occurs in summer and autumn with high temperature and heavy rain.

Be especially careful when eating wild mushrooms. Wild mushrooms with bright colors, warts, spots, cracks, blisters, pulp washing and grotesque stems are not suitable for eating. Never pick wild mushrooms that you don't know or haven't eaten.
How to distinguish poisonous mushrooms
First, look at the color. There are brightly colored poisonous mushrooms, including red, green, black and blue. Second, look at the shape, the mushroom cover of non-toxic mushrooms is flat, the umbrella surface is smooth, the mushroom surface has no wheels, the lower part is sterile, and the center of the mushroom cover with poisonous mushrooms is raised, which is strange in shape. The surface of umbrella-shaped mushrooms is often like fish scales, with annular protrusions on the handle and irregular protrusions on the bottom of the handle. The third is to look at secretions. Pull out the stems of the picked wild mushrooms. Non-toxic secretions are clear as water (partially white), and toxic secretions are thick and reddish brown. Fourth, the smell, non-toxic mushrooms have a special smell, and poisonous bacteria have a strange smell. The fourth is testing. When picking wild mushrooms, you can rub onions on the mushroom cover. If the onion turns blue-brown, it proves that it is poisonous.
