How to tell real red mushrooms from fake ones
To date, red mushrooms still cannot be artificially cultivated, so they are a purely natural food. The identification of red mushrooms can refer to the following five points:
1. Cap: the top center of the red mushroom's cap is dark red or dark purple, slightly darker than the color around the edge of the cap, and some have yellow spots.
2. Stem: the red mushroom's stem is solid. During spore powder release (that is, the opening process will show some hollowing), a few have wormholes at the base of the mushroom.
3. Gills: carefully observe the gills under the red mushroom's cap. The red mushroom's gills are relatively thick and slightly silver-gray.
4. Soaking: red mushrooms will also fade when soaked, but when the color spreads it will not be uniform, and the water color changes slowly and is clear. It smells fresh and fragrant, while dyed mushrooms have a slightly pungent odor.
5. Taste: red mushroom soup is clear, sweet and delicious, and the soup is good to drink, but the mushrooms themselves are not very tasty, with a slightly woody and astringent flavor, and large mushrooms have a slightly gritty texture.
