How to check mushrooms when cooking

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 mushrooms among the mushrooms you have collected, add peeled white onions or a silver thing during cooking. Boil mushrooms together with vegetables for a while and watch how the onions and garlic behave. If they suddenly change color, it is likely 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 spies even before cooking, so that later because of them, they do not throw out the entire crop.
