Various delicious dishes can be prepared from mushrooms. However, we must not forget that in addition to edible mushrooms, there are their counterparts, which are very dangerous. In order not to harm your health, you need to know the main differences between edible and inedible mushrooms.
Instructions
Step 1
White mushroom is considered one of the noblest, in some regions it is also called boletus. It can be dried, fried, boiled, salted, pickled. The porcini mushroom has a twin called the gall mushroom. The gall mushroom is not poisonous, but it has a very bitter taste that can ruin the whole dish. You can distinguish between these mushrooms by some signs. Look at the underside of the mushroom cap. In a real porcini mushroom, it should be white, yellowish or green, in a double it is pink. Break the hat. If the color of the mushroom does not change at the break, then it is edible, if the break begins to turn pink, then it is a double. Taste the mushroom. The porcini mushroom will be tasteless, bile will be very bitter.
Step 2
Champignon is a very common mushroom. You can buy it at any time of the year. To a greater extent, champignons are grown on an industrial scale, but some are harvested in the forest. A mushroom with which champignon can be confused is a pale toadstool. Examine the mushroom carefully. The champignon plates are pink or brown (depending on the degree of ripeness), while in the toadstool they are only white. The stem of the champignon is always straight, and the toadstool may have seals.
Step 3
Boletus is a mushroom that is almost as good as white in taste. Collecting this mushroom, you can stumble upon a false boletus. Take a look at the mushroom cap. The color of the regular mushroom is dark or spotted, while the color of the false mushroom is light. Break the hat. In the false mushroom, the rift will change color and turn pink. Seals are very common on the stem of an inedible mushroom.
Step 4
Honey mushrooms are well suited for pickling and pickling, although they can be fried. It is believed that you only need to eat the caps of this mushroom, since the legs are not very tasty. Edible mushrooms have a dangerous twin. False mushroom is very similar to a real mushroom, you can distinguish them by the cap and plates. Examine the hat carefully, it should be yellow-brown in color. The bright yellow color of the cap gives out a false detection. Flip the hat over and look at the records. In a real mushroom, they are light brown with specks, and in a false one they have a greenish tint.
