Recently, wild mushrooms from all over Yunnan have been put on the market. Although wild mushrooms are delicious, they should also be eaten safely.
After a few light rains in recent years, wild mushrooms in Yunnan have begun to be marketed in large quantities. In Kunming's Mushuihua Wild Mushroom Trading Center, about 300 kilograms of wild mushrooms enter the market every day, including common wild edible mushrooms such as porcini mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms, and dry mushrooms.
Zhai Zhanshi, director of the marketing department of Yunnan Wood Flower Wild Mushroom Trading Center: Now the number of mushrooms has gradually increased, almost double that before the "May Day", and there are more varieties such as shallots.
In the Yuxi Maqiao Agricultural Products Wholesale Market, the shops selling mushrooms have been lively for a long time. Baskets of wild mushrooms were freshly put on the shelves, attracting many consumers.
Wild fungi are a class of macrofungi, which can be divided into edible fungi and poisonous fungi according to whether they are edible or not. At present, there are more than 2,500 species of wild edible mushrooms known in the world, about 1,000 species known in mainland China, and nearly 900 species in Yunnan. How can you tell if a wild mushroom is edible? There is a local saying called "four don't eat":
Do not eat unfamiliar or unfamiliar bacteria
Do not eat mixed mushrooms
Do not eat when drinking
Moldy and too young wild mushrooms are not eaten
Zhai Zhanshi, director of the marketing department of Yunnan Wood Flower Wild Mushroom Trading Center: When some fungi are relatively small, they can't tell what kind of fungus they are. Especially like Amanita mushrooms, it is difficult to distinguish when they are small, try not to eat young mushrooms.
Relevant people remind that wild mushrooms must be cooked when cooking. If you encounter poisoning from edible wild mushrooms, you must seek medical attention immediately.
