How to check honey mushrooms when cooking
Reading time - 3 minutes.
Among all the ways to understand which mushrooms are really edible, and which are poisonous and unsuitable for food, the surest one is to identify false mushrooms BEFORE cooking. It is best to check mushrooms for edibility right in the forest and just not take bad mushrooms with you.
To further make sure that there are no false ones among the mushrooms you have collected, add peeled white onions or a silver thing during cooking. Boil honey mushrooms together with vegetables for a while and observe how the onions and garlic behave. If they suddenly change color, there is a possibility that among the good mushrooms, poisonous ones were caught, to which false mushrooms belong.
Of course, this method is not the most reliable, since vegetables can darken even with normal mushrooms, depending on the place of picking the mushrooms. It is best to recognize the spies before cooking, so that later because of them, they do not throw out the entire crop.
