A few days ago, a piece of news became a hot search #Man ate wild mushrooms and used a silver bracelet to test for poison and was admitted to hospital# Netizens joked Is it that the bracelet is too fake or the mushroom is too poisonous? Recently, in Yibin, Sichuan, a man picked mushrooms and brought them home to cook. He was afraid of poisoning, so he "cautiously" threw a silver bracelet into the pot to "test the poison" while cooking. However, not long after, the man posted his current situation, lying in bed in the hospital for gastric lavage and infusion. "I've watched too many palace dramas" “Is the bracelet too fake or is the mushroom too poisonous?” "My first reaction after waking up was that the bracelet was fake." … Hot search comment area The man's silver bracelet drug test attracted many netizens to laugh Determine the toxicity of wild mushrooms. These methods are not reliable! Experts explain that the statement that "if mushrooms are cooked with silver, ginger, rice and raw onions, the liquid will turn black and is poisonous; if the color does not change, it is non-toxic" has no scientific basis. In fact, mushroom toxins cannot react chemically with silver and cannot produce color changes. For example, amanita phalloides toxins cannot produce color reactions. Many poisonous mushrooms are very similar to edible mushrooms, making it difficult for citizens to distinguish them. It is recommended not to eat wild mushrooms at will. In addition, statements such as "brightly colored mushrooms are poisonous, and mushrooms of ordinary colors are not poisonous" are also unscientific. Whether a mushroom is poisonous cannot be simply determined based on its color and shape.
