If you don't know-an apple,don't hesitate-drop it!
Did you know that there are hundreds of thousands of species of fungi, and by some estimates, more than a million? But only 100 of them are widely known болса, and 10-15 are known to mostpeople. There fore, there is always a risk of getting a poisonous mushroom.
More dangerous than snake venom
Karaganda region is very rich in mushrooms. Especially after heavy rain. Interestingly, mushroom pickers can visit both the forest and the field. By the way, several types of mallow grow here at once. They like to grow where there is a lot of organic matter. For example,in animal husbandry. Baby goats are easier to spot than wild mushrooms, which grow hidden under leaves: their white caps immediately become visible.
But here, too, you should be careful, as mealybugs can be confused with a smelly mushroom that grows in abundance in the open air. They are also considered the most poisonous type of mushroom. It contains the most dangerous fungus-phalloidin. The effect on the human body is equivalent to snake venom. A total of 20 mg causes human death, and one large stinky mushroom contains 10 mg of poison. This applies to a large person, and even a small part is enough for the child to be severely poisoned.
In total, there are three main types of poisonous mushrooms in the Karaganda region: fly agaric, smelly mushroom, false openok. They are widely distributed, although other species are also rare.
From edible mushrooms on our side grow whitefly, red mushroom, birch mushroom, chanterelle, ginger, mountain ash, mossy, mushroom, honey agarics, oyster mushroom, white field mushroom. The right can be called Latin, as it is very common in Kazakhstan. By the way, and in our area. Prefers arid steppe and mountain steppe zone. Due to its inexperience, it is easily confused with the pronghorn-it has - a hemispherical cap. But as it grows, it becomes flat, etched in the middle.
Every hunter wants to know
This year our steppe was rich in hollyhocks and white steppe mushrooms. From the point of view of harvesting , mushrooms and honey mushrooms break records, although everything depends on the region of collection. By the way, if we talk about places where the mushroom grows. Usually, people don't mention places where their products are abundant. Only after gathering everything, together, they share their prey only after frying and marinating. But experienced mushroom pickers shared their secrets.
The first place, of course, is occupied by Karkaralinsk. We can say that the capercaillie in our region isthe golden root of earwigs. It turns out that people collect five or six ten-liter buckets of mushrooms here. Especially a lot of steppe mushrooms appeared this year in the Osakarovsky district. The conditional group also includes the village of Kerney (formerly Korneevka) in the Bukhar-Zhyrau district. Therekaiyn in the birch groves you can find a birch mushroom. In the steppe beyond the village, the New Uzenka of the same region also grows in abundance.
As for the regional center, you can visit the pine zone in Prishakhtinsk, the village of Ushtobe nearthe airport, the side of CHPP-3 in Maikuduk, near Blue ponds and -trees outside the Vostok-5 microdistrict. And in the city, as well as on the road, near garbage and industrial enterprises, mushrooms can not be collected, because they absorb all harmful emissions.
Debunking myths
It is important to note that there are no simple methods for determining the toxicity of fungi. Forget about false assumptions between X and b - they don't work. I can't believe all the talk about boiling onions or garlic with black heads, or putting silver in a pot (which should alsocontain black copper), or that poisonous mushrooms should warm up when you pour milk. All this can be associated with both poisonous mushroomsand edible poison. Detection of danger by such methods does not work at all. Also, many hours of baking or freezing will not save you. Most mushrooms are resistant to heat, and де they are not affected even by temperature changes (even from very low to very high).
Bugs withthe myth that mushrooms are not poisonous, but accumulate as the poison grows. It is also said that if the mushroomis also a worm, then it is edible, as the poisonous mushroom is not carried by ants, beetles, etc. insects. In fact, poisonous fungi infested with insects can be dangerous. There is also an opinion that edible laryns of green color I do not have a lighter shade. This is wrong, because take Ginger, chanterelle or honey agarics, which have a lighter shade. Andyou can't believe in theke case either: for example, the erroneous opinion that good mushrooms have a pleasant aroma, and poisonouslardans smell of chlorine or medicines. For example, fly agaric and smelly mushroom emit a very pleasant smell, you can not distinguish it from champignons.
Top secret
So, we learned that poisonous mushrooms contain toxins. Poisoning with them can lead to eating disorders, hallucinations, and death. In addition, if the fungus is very poisonous, then the treatment started in time will not save you from the tragic consequences.
When going to pick mushrooms, be sure to take other сақprecautions.

If you are going to the forest or into the forest, you will need a long stickthat will help you find prey under the thickets and leaves.
