Don't just eat wild mushrooms
If you feel unwell, seek medical attention promptly
It is understood that mushroom is a kind of macrofungi, there are more than 14,000 species of mushrooms known in the world, and more than 4,000 species are estimated in the mainland, of which only 1/4 have edible value and only 1/10 have medicinal value. Poisonous mushrooms, also known as toadstools or toadstools, refer to large fungi that are poisoned or even killed by humans after consumption.
Doctors in a hospital in Sichuan said that in the cases of poisonous mushroom poisoning, mushrooms containing Amanita toxins are very fatal and the most dangerous, and this kind of toxin is currently found in three major types of mushrooms: 1. Amanita species, such as fatal Amanita species, such as fatal Amanita species, barefoot Amanita phalloides, pale red Amanita phalloides, yellow cover Amanita phalloides, etc., the mushroom appearance of this genus has the characteristics of "hood, waist skirt, and pedal boots" (except for barefoot Amanita without boots); 2. Helmetosis, this mushroom mostly appears in autumn, looks like a "green bar fungus", grows in dead wood or woody soil; 3. Cyclopropyl mushroom and Cyclopropyl mushroom are similar to the most common large green pleated umbrella containing gastrointestinal irritant toxins in Sichuan, but the latter symptoms appear quickly, and the former will only have discomfort for more than 6 hours.
In the past 10 years, Sichuan Province has been poisoned by eating poisonous mushrooms every year, many of which have died, and there is a trend of increasing year by year.
Sichuan Province has many mountainous and hilly areas, and when the summer months from June to August increase, the rain increases, and the wild mushrooms enter the peak growing season. People often go to the woods to pick in order to try new products or hunt for curiosities, which has become a major hidden danger of poisoning. There are many kinds of wild mushrooms, and people often pick or buy them based on experience, so poisoning incidents often occur.
