Not edible.

According to the introduction of the doctor of Chinese medicine hospital, many people in the cooking for the sake of taste will be ignored, in fact, mushrooms and other food in the cooking must be done to cook before you can eat, if you eat fried vegetables, it is best to first cook the mushrooms before frying, otherwise the mushrooms are not cooked then there is a risk of food poisoning.

Case:

Many people prefer half-cooked food when cooking, but many people overlook the fact that some foods can cause discomfort if eaten half-cooked. Ms. Jin's family was poisoned by eating undercooked mushrooms, but fortunately, after treatment, all three members of the family were unharmed.

It is understood that on January 24, Ms. Jin's mother bought mushrooms in the supermarket for dinner, and the family went to bed shortly after dinner as usual. Who knows, in the middle of the night, the three have started diarrhea, followed by stomach pain, dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms.

Early in the morning of the 25th, the family rushed to the nearby Chinese medicine hospital, diagnosed by the doctor, the three are symptoms of food poisoning, and the cause of poisoning is likely to be eating mushrooms do not cook enough.

Because Ms. Jin and her father were in relatively good health on weekdays, they had slowed down a bit by this time, while Ms. Jin's mother was still very weak, and doctors rushed to give her fluids.

After all three rested for a day, their bodies were not much worse. "I didn't realize that eating uncooked mushrooms could be poisonous, so we must pay attention in the future." Ms. Jin is now a bit scared when she thinks about it.

Eating mushrooms:

1, choose: mushrooms don't greed "wild"

While cases of poisoning from eating wild mushrooms have occurred time and time again, many people are still willing to take the risk, and feel that wild mushrooms are just as fragrant as they are nutritious.

The executive director of the China Edible Mushroom Association, Prof. Chang Mingchang of Shanxi Agricultural University's School of Food Science, who is known as the "god of mushrooms," said that scientific experiments have found that the nutritional difference between the two mushrooms is not great, and even some artificially grown mushrooms have higher nutritional value than wild mushrooms.

Wild mushrooms are exposed to the elements, and people are often unable to pick them at the first opportunity, leading to a significant loss of their nutritional and medicinal value.

Professor Chang said, "People have limited knowledge of wild mushrooms, and they can't immediately recognize poisonous mushrooms when they pick them, which can easily cause poisoning. And artificially grown mushrooms.

More than planted in wood chips, straw, corn cobs, the entire planting process is under artificial control, and does not use any chemical fertilizers and pesticides, easy to achieve timely picking, not only to ensure the nutritional value can ensure the safety of its consumption.

Researcher Liu Yu, director of the Edible Mushroom Research Office at the Institute of Plant Protection and Environmental Protection of the Beijing Academy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences, said there are about 20 types of mushrooms that have been commercially cultivated on a large scale in China.

More than 10 kinds of mushrooms, such as shiitake, flat mushroom and enoki mushroom, which we eat most often, are basically cultivated artificially. However, like matsutake mushrooms and cordyceps, artificial cultivation technology is still immature and almost all of them are wild.

Now there are many ways to identify poisonous mushrooms circulating on the Internet, Liu shook his head and said these methods are not very accurate, for example, there are claims that brightly colored mushrooms are poisonous, but in fact this is not the case, red mushrooms, although the color is very bright, but it has now been proved that its nutritional value is higher.

2, nutrition: not only high protein and low fat

Mushrooms in Japan, Hong Kong and other places with high per capita consumption, in Europe and the United States, although artificially cultivated mushrooms are more a single type of mushroom, but eaten and not a lot. China's consumption of mushrooms has also increased in recent years, which is also related to the deepening of our understanding of the nutritional value of mushrooms.

When it comes to the nutritional benefits of mushrooms, the first thing that comes to mind is that they are "high in protein and low in fat", but in fact, they are worth more than that, and the nutritional value of different mushrooms focuses on different things.

Director Liu introduced, shiitake mushrooms in the vitamin D original content is relatively high; enoki mushrooms are rich in human needs of the eight amino acids, especially rich in grain lysine scarce; flat mushrooms contain bile acid in the human body in an important component - taurine.

It is useful for digesting lipids and dissolving cholesterol. Moreover, most mushrooms contain fungal polysaccharides, laxative, also to a certain extent can enhance human immunity. Not only these, Prof. Chang introduced, wood ear, silver ear, ganoderma lucidum, truffles and other such rare mushrooms are also very rich in nutritional value of food.

There are rumors that mushrooms are prone to enrich heavy metals in the soil, however there is no conclusive evidence. Most artificially cultivated mushrooms themselves are not exposed to heavy metals in the soil, and can be safely consumed as they contain very low or no heavy metals.
