There are two sure ways of telling
the difference between wholesome
mushrooms and the poisonous fungi
which so closely resemble them, If they
are to be boiled, put an onion with
them, ana II the onion remains white
there is nothing to fear. II it turns
black throw away the contents OF the
dish, for poison turks there. A common
test is TO sprinkle II little salt on the
pink underpart, and IL it turns black
you have real mushrooms. II the pink
changes TO yellow, you have danger
signal before. II precautions like these
were taken with all mushrooms fresh
or canned, there would be less sickness
in the world.
