Where I work, next to the office is a forest of black pines. After sitting for a long time every day, the cervical spine can't stand it, and I will go to the forest for a walk. It is said that the concentration of negative ions in pine forests is the highest, which is very good for people's health. I don't know if it is a psychological effect, anyway, I turn around in the forest and feel that people are much more energetic and relaxed. This summer there is a lot of rain, every other day or two there will be rain, coupled with the high temperature of three volt days, the pine forest is full of water vapor, the clouds are steaming, and it is a feeling of turning a temperate coniferous forest into a tropical rainforest, and going inside is like a sauna, so my routine walk in the forest is changed to a path along the edge of the forest.
I was walking on the edge of the pine forest that day, when I suddenly caught a glimpse of a few red things in the grass beside the road, which had not appeared before.
I walked over and brushed through the grass and found a few red mushrooms, about the size of cookies, and the umbrella was flattened, slightly concave in the middle, and the surface was red like rouge, and the red was delicate. I plucked one, and the folds on the back were white, tightly arranged like the bellows of an accordion. The stalk is also white, hollow, and deflated with a gentle pinch. This pine forest is mostly brown-red porcini mushrooms (Huangxian dialect called "Pine Pine") and orange-red fir fungus (Huangxian dialect called "pine plate"), I have even seen an indigo blue porcini mushroom, but I have never seen this mushroom, it may be this year's continuous rain and humid hot weather, so that the long should not grow out of it.
In general, brightly colored mushrooms tend to be poisonous, but not too absolutely. I once watched a documentary program, about the "mushroom kingdom" Yunnan a variety of wild mushrooms, vague and a little impression, there is a kind of red mushroom, the color is bright red, but edible, is a more expensive edible mushroom, I found that these mushrooms will not be the legendary red mushroom, right?
Red mushrooms
Go back to find information, red mushrooms for the fungal Phylloscopidae red mushroom family red mushroom genus, the diameter of the fungus lid is 5-12 cm, sticky when young, and the surface is a little fluffy after growing. Initially hemispherical, the posterior umbrella flattens the middle concave, the concave is dark, dark red. The flesh is white and thick. The stalk is white or with a light coral red, solid. Fresh red mushrooms are washed and simmered with chicken, duck or pork chops, and the soup is bright red and sweet, which can be called color, aroma and taste. In addition, according to the pictographic tonic method of Traditional Chinese medicine, the red mushroom soup is red and lush, which can tonify blood, and can also nourish the yin and deficiency, cool and detoxify, and is most suitable for postpartum or menstrual women to eat. Red mushrooms are mostly produced in Yunnan and Fujian, and are also the most important by the locals, plus red mushrooms can not be artificially planted so far, can only be harvested from mountain forests (red mushrooms belong to symbiotic fungi, is a symbiotic mycorrhizal fungus, relying on the root system of trees such as Quercus and Quercus to provide some nutrients, it is difficult to grow without plant roots. The artificially grown shiitake mushrooms, fungus and oyster mushrooms that we usually eat are all saprophytic fungi, absorbing nutrients from decaying wood and dead leaves, so they need mushroom bags when cultivating), so their value is high, and they are noble among the fungi. Look at the other mushrooms of the same genus as the red mushroom, there is a small poisonous red mushroom, Heilongjiang called "small coffin lid", color as carmine, so also known as "rouge fungus", the fungus cover is small, the fungus flesh is thin, the stalk is hollow, the most important point is that the edge of the fungus cover has a thick edge, like a circle of wrinkles, the description is exactly the same as the small red mushroom I held in my hand, it turned out that what I found in the forest was a small poisonous red mushroom! With the word "poison", it must be poisonous, according to the book, it has gastrointestinal toxicity, after eating will cause poisoning, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, so it is also called "vomiting red mushroom". Although the few I saw seem to have been chewed by insects, but the physiological characteristics of insects and people are very different, the same kind of mushroom is likely to be "the honey of insects, arsenic of people", in the insects to eat is a delicacy, people eat may be chasing the soul and scattering.
Yunnan people to the red mushroom genus of red mushrooms collectively called "red face mushrooms", small poisonous red mushrooms are small, locals called "small red face mushrooms", the two look more similar, unfamiliar people are difficult to distinguish, so the number of poisoning every year is not a minority. Small poisonous red mushrooms have a hempy and spicy taste (not spicy!). But by the time you taste it, you're probably already poisoned. Red mushrooms and small poisonous red mushrooms belong to the same genus, which is a real relative, one is a tonic product, one is a poisonous mushroom, and the same is a mushroom with a good appearance, why is the difference so big?
