Poisonous mushrooms: advice 'experienced'

Now in the forests there is such a variety of fungi that even experienced mushroom pickers risk making a mistake in choosing. Some in general can only say that there are edible and poisonous mushrooms, while others know that there is another class of inedible and conditionally edible mushrooms.

If you like forest mushrooms, in order to properly choose them and stay alive and healthy, you need to be able to observe precautions during collection or purchase. So, it is important to talk about such a form as poisonous mushrooms, so that everyone can distinguish them from edible. After all, these fungi inflict a fatal blow to our health and can lead to death.

Many argue that the russet is edible in raw form. However, among them there are also poisonous, though not fatal - russules yellow, brittle and burning-caustic. Remember that mushrooms are not edible in raw form. Also, one should not eat mushrooms that have undergone a low-quality heat treatment. A person who ate raw mushrooms and claims that nothing has happened to him, should know that this is due to the amount of mushrooms that were eaten, what they were, and what the digestive system of the organism is. After all, not everyone can boast that the mushrooms did not bring him any harm. So it's better to be reinsured once again, although this will not be superfluous for mushrooms.

Poisonous fungi, the fly agaric among which ranks first, are divided into simply poisonous and deadly poisonous. Amanita muscaria, for example, belongs to the category of poisonous, and pale toadstool - to the category of deadly poisonous. Cases in which poisoning occurs with red fly agaric are very rare. However, there are in the nature of fly agarics deadly poisonous - fly agaric and smelly white fly agarics. The danger is that they have edible mushroom-twins, for example, champignons, russula, green.

Often edible mushrooms have poisonous fungus-twins, which an inexperienced mushroom picker can easily confuse. Dangerous is the fact that there are quite a lot of species, and twins have a majority of edible mushrooms. Therefore, in order to avoid poisoning, which can lead to loss of health and even life, it is necessary to observe safety rules during the collection of mushrooms:

1. It is better to eat only those mushrooms that you collected (if you collected them according to all the rules). After all, using the purchased or otherwise acquired mushrooms, you can not be sure of where and how they were collected and whether they were chosen correctly. Poisonous mushrooms need to be able to distinguish, and no one will give you guarantees.
2. If you have seriously decided to start collecting mushrooms yourself, learn this from experienced mushroom pickers.
3. Do not give the children a forest mushroom: first, they are still small for such food, and secondly, there is always a risk, and children need to be protected from it.
4. Remember that if you feel any discomfort after eating mushrooms, within twelve hours you need to seek medical help from a doctor. The sooner this happens, the more chances you have to do without serious health consequences.

Everyone needs to be able to provide first aid for poisoning with mushrooms. First of all, you need to call an ambulance. Before her arrival, drink about five glasses of boiled water, cooled to room temperature, and also a solution of soda or potassium permanganate. You need to drink in small sips. Then induce vomiting. This procedure should be done two or three times. After each lavage of the stomach you need to drink a laxative to remove the poison from the intestine. After taking a laxative and cleaning the bowels, you need to put a cleansing enema and drink a couple of packs of activated charcoal. Poisonous mushrooms that have not been eaten should be left until the doctor arrives to analyze them for the presence of poison and determine its specificity.
