Today, the news that China discovered a new species "Cancerite" has become a hot search and attracted people's attention. People are curious that since this newly discovered species is a fungus, can it be eaten and how it tastes?
It is understood that this new species called "Baiguai Chanterelle" was first discovered (in 2017) at an altitude of 1,100 meters in Tianmu Mountain Nature Reserve, and later (in 2020) was also discovered in Hainan Parrot Ridge. After genetic sequencing of scientific research institutions, it was determined to be a new species.
The chanterelle fruit of white-covered chanterelle is very small, with a smooth and slightly greasy appearance, with creamy white and off-white colors, the meat is very solid, and the smell is not very obvious. White-covered Chanterelle is different from ordinary bacteria. It has a relatively rare feature, and the color will not change after injury.
This bacteria looks smooth and tender, can it be eaten? Is it tasty? In this regard, some experts say that chanterelle is a type of chanterelle genus and is not very familiar with this new species at present. It is recommended not to eat it to avoid adverse reactions. There are all kinds of mushrooms, with all kinds of shapes and colors. People who often pick mushrooms can tell whether they are poisonous or not. It is difficult for ordinary people to tell, so it is better to be cautious.
Someone summarized the methods to identify whether mushrooms are poisonous. First, see if there is ants to eat. If so, it proves that it is not poisonous or slightly poisonous. Second, see if maggots grow if they rot. If maggots grow, they are basically not poisonous. Third, when it is about to rot or not, see if there are any mosquitoes to eat. If not, it will not be poisonous. All of the above three items are consistent with the characteristics of non-toxicity and can basically be classified as delicious.
Some netizens said that in September, they went into the forest with friends to pick mushrooms. When they encountered a kind of red mushroom, they didn’t know if they could eat it, so they picked a few of them and took them back to ask someone to identify them. Everyone said they could eat it because someone had eaten it before. But when I think of the popular promotional songs on the Internet, forget it and throw it away. It’s important to die! White-covered Chanterelles are actually very similar to other fungi in nature. Some are non-toxic and some are toxic, which is difficult to distinguish and easy to confuse. Therefore, you should be cautious and not take risks easily just to try it out.
