RE: Mushrooms and Other Fungus Among Us

in #fungus6 years ago

Hello Friend how are you? just like you are not an expert mushroom but your interesting publication and your excellent photos made me investigate a little

It is important that you never consume a mushroom if you are not sure that it is fully edible. You can not even trust when you see them in street vendors, although those who collect them for sale have knowledge about their classification, sometimes they can make mistakes and include some toxic specimens that could affect your health or make you have a hard time. . If you want to go out and collect your own mushrooms it is necessary that before you consult a guide that retrieves data of the varieties that grow in your region.

I do not consume any type of mushrooms but we must be very careful when we find them there are certain ways to distinguish between edible and hallucinogenic.

Never try to identify an edible fungus by its taste or smell, doing this can cause poisoning or allergies depending on the species that you have approached to check your condition. Although you can distinguish them because some poisonous varieties are easily destroyed by touch.

When cutting a fungus, leave it upside down so that it releases its spores. Normally, the spores they release are white, brown, black or yellow. In isolated cases they are blue, green or red, although if you do not feel safe eating it, better leave the fungus where you found it.

Do not trust the myth that all white mushrooms are edible. In some places like Ohio, mushrooms with a higher concentration of poison or other dangerous substances are white.

Sort:  

Good point. Even breathing a poisonous one may release some spores, so I wouldn't touch or step on them unless I know it's safe.

It's amazing how fungi if we are not careful cause envennamiento you have to be alert, there are people who can not see them because they get their attention and want them as if they were flowers
