In addition to the red umbrellas and white stems, have you ever seen these poisonous mushrooms?

Recently, it was reported that a grandmother, mother and 3-year-old child of a family in Guangdong died after eating wild mushrooms. At the same time, 2 cats in the family were poisoned to death. It is really a pity to see such news. 3 lives were lost! As a result, poisonous mushrooms have once again become a hot topic and have entered people's attention. So, what do poisonous mushrooms look like? Are they all the "red umbrellas and white stems" that are circulated on the Internet? Are the folk methods of identifying poisonous mushrooms really reliable? Let's take a look today!

01. Common poisonous mushrooms

————————

In fact, most poisonous mushrooms are not "red umbrellas and white stems". The following is a warning about poisonous mushrooms issued by Yunnan Province. You can take a look:

I saw that most of them were not “red umbrellas and white poles”, but they still lay flat after eating them.

As for the "experienced" civilians, forget it. Many people do not have the professional knowledge at all, so they should not judge these wild mushrooms, let alone use their own lives as experimental subjects.

Many folk judgment methods are not reliable.

02. Are mushrooms infested by insects safe?

—————————————

Many folk methods are often based on some simple judgments, such as: animals are fine, so people are fine. Therefore, many people think that "mushrooms eaten by insects are edible", but this theory is wrong.

Many times, there are still many differences between humans and animals. For example, some animals can secrete toxins themselves, or some organisms have developed special levels of coping with toxins after long-term adaptive evolution.

03. The brighter the mushroom, the more poisonous it is? ———————————

There are also some methods, such as "the brighter the mushroom, the more poisonous it is." However, many people who are poisoned actually eat poisonous mushrooms that look "ordinary." Why? Because toxins are not pigments. Many mushrooms look harmless to humans and animals, but they are highly poisonous.

For example, a common mushroom toxin is amatoxin, which comes from Amanita phallus. The lethal dose for humans is about 0.1 mg/kg body weight, and basically one pill will cause poisoning.

However, many mushrooms containing this toxin look hard to believe they are poisonous, like the one in the picture below.

You look like an ordinary mushroom, but you are extremely poisonous.

Ordinary people lack sufficient professional knowledge to distinguish toxins. In fact, even professionals cannot judge mushrooms they don’t recognize. So don’t eat wild mushrooms just to try something new. That’s really risking your life.

Finally, I would like to remind everyone again: when you see wild mushrooms in the wild, do not pick them, do not cook them, do not eat them, and do not give them away.
