The false mushroom looks like a real one, that is, in fact, it is a double of an edible mushroom. Numerous cases of poisoning are recorded every year during the harvest season. To avoid this fate, you need to know the main distinguishing features of edible and false mushrooms.
Instructions
Step 1
White mushroom, or boletus, is one of the most valuable and noble types of mushrooms. It is salted, boiled, dried, fried, pickled. Its false brother is called the gall mushroom. In appearance, they practically do not differ. But if you look closely at the bottom of the cap, you can see significant differences. The false mushroom has the bottom of the cap with a pink tint. Having broken the gall mushroom, you can notice a pinkish tint. A real white mushroom does not change color when broken. If the mushroom picker mistakenly puts at least one gall mushroom in the basket, all the dish prepared from the extraction can simply be thrown away. It will be saturated with a bitter taste. You cannot get poisoned with a false porcini mushroom, but it will be impossible to eat cooked food.
Step 2
Boletus tastes like a porcini mushroom. The color of the cap is dark or spotted. The false boletus has a fairly light color; when it breaks, a pink color appears. The leg contains seals.
Step 3
honey fungus can be distinguished by the bright yellow color of the cap and the monochromatic plates. If you break a mushroom and sniff, a real honey mushroom will emit a pleasant mushroom smell. False honey smells of earth, mud, swamp, wood, but not mushrooms.
Step 4
The mushrooms collected in the forest can be confused with the pale toadstool. If you carefully examine the real champignon, you will notice brown, brownish or pink plates. Toadstool has completely white plates. Toadstool poisoning is very life-threatening, so you need to carefully consider the appearance of the mushroom and only then put it in the basket.
