"Then how do we know whether wild mushrooms are poisonous?

First look at the color and shape. In terms of color, poisonous mushrooms are mostly gold, pink, white, black and green. Non-toxic mushrooms are mostly brown, lavender or grayish red. Secondly, you can look at the appearance. There is a simple formula, which can be roughly distinguished from the shape: hat on the head, skirt on the waist and boots on the feet. It means that there is a cap, a ring and most of the algae are poisonous mushrooms. In addition, poisonous mushrooms are generally sticky and slippery, and the mushroom cover is often stained with some debris or grows patches. "
