Methods for identifying red mushrooms
1. Shape: For true red mushrooms, the top of the cap is deep red, the center is dark red, and there are horizontal wrinkles. On the underside of the cap, the gills are fine, dense, and uniform, the stem is pink, and the mushroom body is arc-shaped (of course, it cannot be ruled out that the shape of some red mushroom bodies is damaged during growth or picking), and the stem and gills are also entirely red (for Man Shan Hong, the gills will not be red and the stem is also red only in some places).
2. Stem: For true red mushrooms, the stem must have small holes. This is the unique feature that distinguishes red mushrooms from other mushrooms (the stems of shiitake mushrooms, tea tree mushrooms, and Brazil mushrooms are all solid).
3. Color: For true red mushrooms, the water will also turn red when they are put into water. The reason red mushrooms are red is that they naturally contain natural pigments, so turning red is certain. It is just that the water of fake red mushrooms will appear dark red and have the smell of dye, while the water of true red mushrooms will appear pink and have a slight fresh fragrance of mushrooms. After cooking, as the nutritional components of the mushrooms enter the soup, the color of the mushrooms will also fade completely.
