hello all

I just share a little tips about toxic mold or not ..
To know the characteristics of poisonous mushrooms:
Not all mushrooms can be consumed. Some types of mushrooms have toxins that can cause nausea to death. Identify its characteristics!

Mushrooms are divided into two categories: edible mushrooms and non edible mushrooms. Edible has a common meaning of mushrooms we consume, while non edible commonly known as herbal mushrooms and poisonous mushrooms.

Some types of poisonous mushrooms have a look similar to the commonly eaten mushrooms. This resemblance is often the cause of misidentification so that the poisonous mushroom is presumed to be a food mushroom.

Amanita Whalloides, Amanita Verna, Amanita Muscaria, Trichaloma Pardium and Trichaloma Virgatum are some types of poisonous mushrooms. In addition to having health benefits, certain types of fungi also contain toxins.

To find out if the fungus is toxic or not, you can recognize it in the following way:

  1. Fruit body color varies. Starting from red, light yellow, white, jet black to orange.
  2. Removing the aroma of ammonia.
  3. Usually has a ring or cup at the base of the stem.
  4. Grow in a dirty place
  5. If cut with a stainless steal knife, there will be a black or blue stain on the knife.
  6. If cooked will change the color and texture becomes very soft.
    Toxicity of the fungus can be derived from the toxic compounds it contains or the toxins from its environment. Toxicity of fungi is usually genetic, but is derived from the fungus itself.

The poisonous nature of the fungus will not change even if planted in any area. In addition to the features already mentioned, you can also identify the poisonous mushrooms if there is a bitter taste. From environmental factors, toxic materials such as pesticides can become toxic molds.

Toxic poisoning poisoning can cause effects quickly on the gastrointestinal so that will arise nausea and vomiting to the latest

Interesting! I will only eat the mushrooms and fungi I find in the supermarkt or restaurant just to be safe. One thing I love to eat is blue cheese, but don't know a lot more.
